In A one can see that Chopin initially wrote sempre piu stretto as an agogic indication for this eight-bar section (over the top stave). According to us, cresc. between the staves was written at the same time, which is indicated by the fact that both indications begin at the same moment of the bar. Chopin then decided to merge both indications by deleting sempre piu stretto above and adding stretto e before cresc. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |

In A (→FC) b. 756 opens a new page, while the phrase marks, both in b. 755 and 756, suggest continuation. Therefore, it is no wonder that all editions combined them. On the other hand, the passage beginning in b. 756 is strictly opening (cf. its previous appearances in b. 49 and analog. and 716 and 720), so one can assume inaccuracy of notation, particularly in b. 756. Such phrase marks, written with a flourish, can be frequently encountered in Chopin's autographs, e.g. in b. 589 and 597, where their meaning is, however, unequivocal. Taking into account the above, we suggest two alternative solutions in which the phrase marks are not combined. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
A initially contained the word ben, which Chopin then deleted, written before the indication marcato. As a result, in FC (→GE1) marcato begins around the 3rd crotchet in b. 756, which may suggest that it is valid only just from this note. In FE (→EE), due to the transition into a new line, the indication was moved to b. 757. In the main text we place it in the starting point of the original indication ben marcato. Such a solution was introduced also in GE2 (→GE3). There is a visible deletion of a hardly legible indication under the R.H. part. The last word is probably forza.

In A Chopin deleted the slurs over the three-note motifs, beginning on the 2nd beat of b. 756, 757, 760 and 761. It could have been related to the addition of the indication marcato. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |
