In GC bars 1-69 are provided with numbers (numbers of bars). The numeration is a part of the abbreviated notation of bars 189-257 as a repetition of a respective fragment of the initial section. This manner of notation, characteristic for Chopin, was certainly used also in [A]. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Abbreviated notation of A , Authentic corrections in GC |

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. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections in GC |

In GC the bar is written in an abbreviated manner as repetition of the previous one. At the same time, one can see that initially the bar was completely overlooked, whereas a relevant abbreviation was written as an addition. It cannot be excluded that the mistake (or unclear notation) was also in [A]. If so, Chopin had to write a respective addition also there, as FE contains the correct number of bars. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors of A , Abbreviated notation of A , Authentic corrections in GC |
