composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
The entire second line of A is missing the octave signs – there is no ending of the sign in bar 9 and an entire one is missing in b. 14-17. There is a similar case in b. 31-33, in which the transition into a new line provoked a mistake in the form of an unfinished octave sign, which began in bar 30. Fontana noticed and corrected only the latter, yet in FC an octave sign was added in pencil also in b. 14-17, probably by the engraver of GE1 (we do not take into account that addition in the transcription of FC, since it belongs rather to GE1). In the editions all mistakes were corrected, in FE perhaps by Chopin's orders, who proofread that edition. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Foreign hand additions in manuscripts , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE , Fontana's revisions |

It is unclear whether the staccato markings with which Chopin provided the R.H. chords in b. 9, 17 and 33 (the missing marking in bar 41 must be an oversight, since it is the first bar on a new page of A) should be interpreted as wedges or dots. The ambiguity is confirmed by the sources based directly on A: the copyist interpreted those markings as dots, whereas the engraver of FE – as wedges. According to us, there are more arguments in favour of wedges, which we thereby suggest in the main text. The dot added in FE in bar 41 may come from Chopin, yet in this case it is also unclear whether the engraver interpreted Chopin's proof entry correctly. An identical addition introduced in GE cannot be authentic. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Wedges , Inaccuracies in A |

In A (→FC) Chopin did not mark staccato for the L.H. chords in b. 9, 17, 33 and 41. However, there is no doubt that they should be performed with the same articulation as the R.H. chords. Taking into account the notation on separate staves, we repeat the R.H. markings in order to avoid any doubts. In the sources a separate marking for the L.H. is present only in EE in bar 41. It cannot be authentic. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions |

We add cautionary flats in the main text. The addition was introduced already in GE2 (→GE3). The same applies to b. 145 and 596. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |
