Double bar-line in GC (→GE)

Single bar-line in FE (→EE)

The double bar line was added in GC most probably by Chopin. According to us, it did not result from the will of indicating a musically relevant division, it was only aimed at facilitating the orientation in the abbreviated notation of the return of the main section of the Scherzo – Chopin added a double bar line also after the relevant bar of the recapitulation (bar 224). Therefore, in the main text we preserve the original notation of [A] (→FE) without the double bar line.
