 in A (→FC) & GE2 (→GE3)

No marking in FE (→EE)

The missing  is most probably an oversight of the engraver of FE. The  marking featured here in GE1 must also be a mistake, which was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 271-272

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

f tied in A (→FC) & GE2 (→GE3)

f repeated in FE (→EE) & GE1
..

The missing tie of f in FE (→EE) is another of the series of the mistakes of FE, concerning the ties in this section of the Scherzo, which has just begun. This time it was also the engraver of GE1 that committed a mistake. A corresponding tie was added in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 273

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

d in A (→FC,FE→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

e in GE1
..

The version of GE1 must be erroneous in this place; Chopin crossed out the E-e octave in A here and replaced it with the E-d seventh. GE2 (→GE3) restored the version of FC.

b. 274-276

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur to bar 274 in A (→FE→EE)

Slur to end of bar 276 in FC

Slur beyond bar 276 in GE1

Slur to bar 276 in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The longer phrase mark of FC is the original version copied (somehow inaccurately) from A: in A one can see that when it returned to Chopin after having been copied by Fontana, the composer crossed out the original ending of that phrase mark and added a new ending 2 bars earlier. The long, continuous slur in GE1 results from a misinterpretation of FC, rectified in GE2 (→GE3).
