composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
In b. 49-50 and 57-58 in the main text we give the marks written by Chopin in FC (→GE1). Their placement, just below the tied f4, means that Chopin meant rather a 'very long' accent than diminuendo. In GE2 (→GE3) the marks were arbitrarily moved in order to emphasise their meaning as diminuendoes. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FC |

The range of the slur limited in FC (→GE1) to quavers only is an inaccuracy of the copyist. In GE2 (→GE3) the slur was extended after analog. b. 181-184. See also b. 57-58. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Inaccuracies in FC |

The slur of A does not go beyond the bar line, which must be an inaccuracy – cf. similar motifs in b. 55-56, 61-62, 62-63 (L.H.) and 63-64. In the main text we give the slur extended by Chopin in FC (→GE). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |

The staccato dot, written in b. 54 in A (→FE→EE), was crossed out in FC, almost certainly by Chopin. It is demonstrated by another small correction visible in this place – dragging the slur from b. 53 to the quaver in b. 54. Taking into account the above, we do not include this dot in the main text. See also analog. b. 186-196. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FC |

In these bars in FED one can notice vague pencilled lines; such lines may be encountered in Chopinesque pupils' copies. They may have accompanied some verbal indications of the Master, yet it is generally impossible to guess their meaning. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Source & stylistic information |
