b. 46

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Staccato dot in A (→FCGE)

No mark in FE (→EE

..

The missing dot in FE (→EE) is most probably an oversight – in A a small dot is quite far from the octave it concerns.

b. 49-58

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No signs in A (→FEEE)

in FC (→GE1)

in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In b. 49-50 and 57-58 in the main text we give the  marks written by Chopin in FC (→GE1). Their placement, just below the tied f4, means that Chopin meant rather a 'very long' accent than diminuendo. In GE2 (→GE3) the marks were arbitrarily moved in order to emphasise their meaning as diminuendoes.

b. 54-56

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Staccato dot in A (→FEEE)

No mark in FC (→GE)

..

The staccato dot, written in b. 54 in A (→FEEE), was crossed out in FC, almost certainly by Chopin. It is demonstrated by another small correction visible in this place – dragging the slur from b. 53 to the quaver in b. 54. Taking into account the above, we do not include this dot in the main text. See also analog. b. 186-196.

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

3 long accents in A

1 long accent in FC

3 short accents in FE (→EE)

1 short accent in GE1

in GE2 )→GE3)

..

Out of the three accents visible in A at the beginning of subsequent quaver motifs, it is only the third one that was repeated in FC. It can be explained by them having been added in A later or, which seems more likely, by the copyist's distraction. It is also unclear which accents Chopin meant: taking into account the whole-bar  hairpins in similar motifs in b. 53 and 55, we consider long accents to be more likely.
