b. 605

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

in A (→FC,FE→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

in GE1
..

Just like in analogous b. 154, the indication , instead of , must be a mistake of the engraver of GE1. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

Just like in b. 189, of which the discussed bar is an exact repetition, in the main text we add , most probably overlooked by inadvertence. The mark was also added in GE2 (→GE3).

In the main text we give the cresc. indication added by Chopin in FC along with the dashes marking its range within b. 654-663. Just like in b. 203-212, the dashes were overlooked in GE1 and added in GE2 (→GE3) while modifying the initial section of crescendo after analogous b. 71-72: cresc. was moved to b. 655, and a  was added in b. 654.

b. 658-663

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Dashes in FC & GE2 (→GE3)
..

We give the dashes marking the range of cresc. from b. 654 after the Chopinesque entry in FC in b. 207-212, since the discussed bars are a repetition thereof, not written out.
