Long accent suggested by the editors

In the main text we add a long accent after the authentic marks in analogous b. 69 & 77 and b. 201. The addition was also performed in GE2 (→GE3), in the form of a short accent.

b. 211-212

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

c2 repeated in A (→FC→GE1)

c2 tied in FE (→EE)
..

The missing tie of c2 is probably an oversight of Chopin in A (→FC→GE1) – those are the last bars on the page, which favours distraction. The tie was added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE) as well as in GE2 (→GE3), probably on the basis of analogy with b. 79-80.
There is a similar situation in b. 662-663.

No indication in A (→FE→EE)

dolce in bar 214 in GE2 (→GE3)

In the main text we add the dolce indication written in b. 213 by Chopin in FC (→GE1). In subsequent GE the indication was moved to b. 214, probably by analogy with b. 81-82. See also the next note.

In the main text we add the  mark entered by Chopin into FC (→GE1). In subsequent GE, like in analogous b. 81-82, the mark was arbitrarily moved and shortened.

No signs in A (→FE→EE)

  in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In the main text we reproduce the   hairpins after FC (→GE1), into which they were entered by Chopin. A precise interpretation of the range of the marks, particularly the first one, is hampered by an inaccurate synchronisation of the notation of the R.H. minims with the L.H. quavers. In GE2 (→GE3) both marks were extended so that they encompass two full bars, which does not result from Chopin's notation.
