b. 89-94

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No sign in A (→FE→EE)

in #CF (→GE)
..

In the main text we give a  hairpin added by Chopin in FC (→GE). In this phrase the manuscript bears traces of corrections performed by Chopin, who, initially, wrote three subsequent  marks in b. 87-90, 91-92 & 93-94, which he then deleted. The second half of the first of those marks (written on the top stave in b. 89-90) was not deleted, yet there is no doubt that the six-bar long  written below expresses the composer's later intention.

 in FC & GE2 (→GE3)

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No sign in A (→FE→EE)

 in FC (→GE1)
..

In the main text we give the  hairpin written by Chopin in FC (→GE1). The two-bar mark in GE2 (→GE3) is a result of a standard revision adjusting hairpins (and also, e.g. slurs) to rhythmic structures, e.g. bars.
