b. 49-58

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No signs in A (→FEEE)

in FC (→GE1)

in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In b. 49-50 and 57-58 in the main text we give the  marks written by Chopin in FC (→GE1). Their placement, just below the tied f4, means that Chopin meant rather a 'very long' accent than diminuendo. In GE2 (→GE3) the marks were arbitrarily moved in order to emphasise their meaning as diminuendoes.

b. 49-52

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur in bars 50-52 in A (→FEEE)

Slur over quavers in FC (→GE1)

Slur in bars 49-52 in GE2 (→GE3)

..

The range of the slur limited in FC (→GE1) to quavers only is an inaccuracy of the copyist. In GE2 (→GE3) the slur was extended after analog. b. 181-184. See also b. 57-58.

b. 53-54

Slur in bar 53 in A

Slur to bar 54 in #CF (→GE) & FE (→EE)

..

The slur of A does not go beyond the bar line, which must be an inaccuracy – cf. similar motifs in b. 55-56, 61-62, 62-63 (L.H.) and 63-64. In the main text we give the slur extended by Chopin in FC (→GE).

b. 54-56

Staccato dot in A (→FEEE)

No mark in FC (→GE)

..

The staccato dot, written in b. 54 in A (→FEEE), was crossed out in FC, almost certainly by Chopin. It is demonstrated by another small correction visible in this place – dragging the slur from b. 53 to the quaver in b. 54. Taking into account the above, we do not include this dot in the main text. See also analog. b. 186-196.

In these bars in FED one can notice vague pencilled lines; such lines may be encountered in Chopinesque pupils' copies. They may have accompanied some verbal indications of the Master, yet it is generally impossible to guess their meaning.
