Lack of understanding of the Chopinesque long accents is common in the editions, particularly in EE and GE, but copyists would sometimes also identify them incorrectly. See also b. 77. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , EE inaccuracies |

According to us, in spite of the fact that the accent in this bar is slightly shorter in A than the marks in b. 69 and 76, this difference has no significance, and the accent should be regarded as long. However, both the copyist in FC and the engraver in FE considered it a common, short accent. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

In spite of the clear difference in the length of the accents in b. 118, 120, 122 and 124 visible in A, in the main text we give a unified notation with four short accents, which are more natural in these brilliant, virtuoso passages. At the same time, it is compliant with the notation of the principal source, i.e. FC, although it seems unlikely that Chopin could have interfered with the notation of the copy here. The absence of the last mark in FE (→EE) is an oversight, whereas the shorter first accent in EE – an inaccuracy or revision. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Errors in FE , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in FC |

b. 200-208

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
Differently than in analogous b. 68-77, Chopin did not write any accents in b. 200-201 & 208-209 in A; he could have considered the marks written for the first time to be sufficient. However, while proofreading FC he added accents in b. 200-201, which confirms their validity also in this appearance of the theme. Due to the above reason, in the main text we also add a mark in b. 208 (and 209). Accents were also added in GE2 (→GE3). In GE all marks in those bars are common, short accents. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FC |
