b. 573-576

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No marks in FC (→GE)

..

A missing accent at the beginning of each of these 4 bars may be an oversight of Fontana. According to us, it is, however, more likely that Chopin added the accents in A after FC had already been prepared.

b. 756-760

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

2 staccato dots in A (→FEEE) & GE2

No marks in GE1

1 dot in GE3

..

The missing staccato dot in b. 756 in FC (→GE1) is most probably an oversight. It was also the dot in b. 760 that was overlooked in GE1, which, most probably, is also an oversight. By adding both dots, the reviser of GE2 correctly guessed Chopin's intention. In turn, the origin of the version of GE3 is puzzling, since there is no acceptable reason to remove the dot in b. 760. Consequently, it is either an erroneous revision or a misprint.

b. 766-768

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Staccato dots in A

No marks in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

..

According to us, the missing staccato dots over the chords in b. 766 and 768 are a result of inattention of the copyist and the engraver of FE. The dots do appear in A, yet their perception is hampered by other elements of notation bordering on them, i.e. a deletion (b. 766) and one of the dashes marking the range of the indication più mosso (b. 768).
