b. 678

No mark in A (→FE→EE)

 in FC (literal reading→GE1)

Short accent in GE2 (→GE3)

Long accent suggested by the editors

According to Chopin, this bar is supposed to be a repetition of b. 227. Due to the reasons discussed in the note concerning that bar, in the main text we interpret the mark written there by Chopin as a long accent. A similar solution was adopted also in GE2 (→GE3).

No sign in A (FE→EE)

In the main text we give a  hairpin, written by Chopin in FC (→GE1) in b. 230 (the discussed bar is a repetition thereof). Just like there, subsequent GE arbitrarily shortened the mark and moved it over the top stave.

In the main text we give the  hairpin added by Chopin in FC (→GE1) in b. 231, of which the discussed bar is a repetition. Just like there, the beginning of the  mark was arbitrarily moved in GE2 (→GE3).

In the main text we give the   marks written by Chopin in FC (→GE1) in b. 232-234, of which the discussed bars are a repetition. Just like there, the  sign was arbitrarily moved by GE2 (→GE3).

b. 686-687

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No markings in A (→FE→EE)

Two-bar pedalling in FC (→GE1)

One-bar pedalling in GE2 (→GE3)
..

These bars are an exact repetition of b. 235-236, and the Chopinesque pedalling written there in FC (→GE1) is most probably inaccurate. Therefore, in the main text we suggest the markings given by Chopin in analogous b. 103-104. Such a revision was introduced already in GE2 (→GE3).
