b. 445

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

There is no  raising d to d in A (→FE→EE1). Chopin's patent inaccuracy was corrected by Fontana in FC (→GE); a  was also added in EE2 (→EE3).

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Staccato dot in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE)

No mark in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The missing staccato dot in GE2 (→GE3) is probably a revision, since the dot was also omitted in analogous b. 344 (in b. 336 and 438 the dot was absent already in FC and GE1).

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No slur in sources

Slur suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we add a slur over the 2nd and 3rd crotchets after the authentic slurs in analogous b. 438 and 453.

b. 448-459

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No signs in A

Pedalling in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)
..

We consider the missing pedalling in these bars to be an oversight of Chopin in A: relevant markings were added both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE), they are also in analogous b. 346-357. Due to the discrepancies in subsequent sources, b. 452-457 are discussed separately.

c1-e1 in A (→FC,FE→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

e1 in GE1
..

The missing c1 must be a mistake of the engraver of GE1, corrected in subsequent GE.
