b. 544

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No indication in A (→FEEE)

sempre con fuoco in FC (→GE)

..

In the main text we include the indication added by Chopin in FC, which is our principal source due to its most careful preparation. See also the note below.

b. 544

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No mark in A (→FCGE)

Accent in FC (→GE)

..

The missing accent in A means that it was most probably added by Chopin in FC (→GE).

b. 544

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No mark in FE (→EE) & GE1

Accent in GE2 (→GE3)

..

The missing staccato dot in FE and GE1 must be a result of the engravers' oversights (the engraver of GE1 can be excused, since it is difficult to identify the mark in FC). The accent added in GE2 (→GE3) by analogy with the next bars is an arbitrary revision.

b. 544-551

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Six-note slurs in A (→FCGE1, →FEEE)

Five-note slurs in GE2 (→GE3)

..

The fact of GE2 (→GE3) shortening the slurs results from a general assumption adopted by the revisers of GE2 according to which all similar motifs should be provided with slurs encompassing quavers only. The discussed bars, in which both manuscripts and the remaining editions contain clearly longer slurs, stand in flagrant contradiction with that conjecture.
