GE1 features only one accent in this bar, placed between the staves, closer to the L.H. part. Therefore, we assume that it is a L.H. accent, which means no accent for the R.H. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

Four accents under the bass octaves were not reproduced in such a form in any of the remaining sources. While GE2 (→GE3) contains all accents, they are placed above the octaves, which is a revision of the text of GE1 on the basis of a comparison with FC and unification by analogy (an accent was added in b. 551, which is absent in FC). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Errors of FC |

In A the slurs over the characteristic quaver motifs generally encompass only the quaver groups in these bars (the only exception are the slurs in b. 554-555, reaching the crotchet at the beginning of the next bar). The remaining sources do not show traces of Chopin's influence on the range of those slurs. Therefore, taking into account the fact that the discussed figures are identical, in every respect, in the main text we unify the slurs, giving always the ones Chopin wrote in A more often. Such a solution was also adopted in GE2 (→GE3). Alternatively, we also suggest 6-note slurs, which are more frequent in similar motifs in the entire Scherzo. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in FC , Uncertain slur continuation |

The addition of the L.H. three-note slurs in b. 553-554 and 555-556, modelled after the R.H. motifs, is a revision of GE, quite frequently used in Breitkopf & Härtel's publications (cf., e.g. b. 572-579). However, in this case it is almost certain that such slurs correspond to Chopin's intention, since he wrote such slurs in analogous b. 557-558 and 559-560. Chopin could have missed the difference in the indications of b. 553-556 and 557-560, as b. 557 opens a new page of A. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |
