b. 470

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Long accent in A

Short accent in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

..

The mark in A bears all the hallmarks of a long accent. In spite of that, both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE) it was reproduced as a common short accent, which, according to us, may be considered an acceptable variant.

b. 473-475

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

in bar 475 in A & GE

2  signs in FC

No signs in FE (→EE)

..

The additional  mark at the end of b. 473 was written by Fontana, hence it is a mistake. This is how it was considered already in GE. Omission of the correct mark (in b. 475) in FE (→EE) is also a mistake.

b. 476

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Accent in A

No mark in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

..

It is difficult to indicate the reason for the omission of the accent both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE). Chopin could have added it in A already after he completed FC, whereas the engraver of FE could have simply overlooked it.

b. 477

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

The  raising a3 to a3, overlooked in A (→FE), was added in FC (→GE) and EE. The mark was also added in FESf.

b. 477-478

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur in A (literal reading→FEEE) & GE2

Slur to bar 478 in A (contextual interpretation→FCGE1) & GE3

..

When interpreted literally, the slur of A does not go beyond b. 477. A comparison with an analogous motif in b. 485-486 confirms the validity of the interpretation of that slur by FC (→GE1) and GE3. In turn, it is difficult to say what the motivation of the reviser of GE2 was while shortening that slur (and analogous in b. 481-482, 485-486 and 489-490), since he did not have access to A.
