b. 553-555

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Simultaneous arpeggios in A (→FCGE)

Continuous arpeggios in FE (→EE)

..

In b. 553 and 555 the continuous arpeggios in FE (→EE) must be a result of misunderstanding the notation of A, in which the wavy lines, although being close to each other, are clearly separated.

b. 553-556

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No L.H. slurs in A (→FC,FEEE)

Slurs in GE

..

The addition of the L.H. three-note slurs in b. 553-554 and 555-556, modelled after the R.H. motifs, is a revision of GE, quite frequently used in Breitkopf & Härtel's publications (cf., e.g. b. 572-579). However, in this case it is almost certain that such slurs correspond to Chopin's intention, since he wrote such slurs in analogous b. 557-558 and 559-560. Chopin could have missed the difference in the indications of b. 553-556 and 557-560, as b. 557 opens a new page of A.

b. 554

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Arpeggio signs in A (→FCGE)

No signs in FE (→EE)

..

In FE (→EE), the lack of arpeggio signs in bar 554 is undoubtedly due to an error of the engraver of FE. Similarly in bar 559.

2 slurs in A (→FE,FCGE)

No slurs in EE

..

The missing three-note R.H. slurs in b. 555-556 and 557-558 must be a mistake of EE. Generally, EE include a few slurring irregularities in this fragment that are difficult to explain; see also b. 557-560, 561-566.

b. 556

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Arpeggio signs in A (→FEEE) & GE2 (→GE3)

No signs in FC (→GE1)

..

The missing arpeggios must be an oversight of the copyist in FC (→GE1), corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
