b. 654-657

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No markings in A (→FEEE)

cresc. - - - in FC

cresc. in GE1

 & cresc. - - - 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

No markings in A (→FEEE) & GE1

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.

b. 692-707

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No indication in A

cresc. - - in bars 692-707 in FC & GE2 (→GE3)

cresc. - - in bars 693-707 in FE (→EE)

cresc. - - in bars 692-696 in GE1

..

In the main text we give the indication cresc. - - - written by Chopin in FC (see the note to b. 65-66) The composer added crescendo in this fragment also in the proofreading of FE (→EE); however, he began it a bar later. That version, most probably later, can be considered equivalent. GE1 reproduced the indication of FC inaccurately, since from b. 697 it overlooked the dashes marking the range of cresc. That oversight was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
See also b. 708.

b. 703-704

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Separate slurs in A (contextual interpretation→FC) & GE3

Continuous slur in A (possible interpretation→FEEE) & GE1 (→GE2)

..

It is not entirely clear in A whether the slur in b. 704, which opens a new line, is to be considered a continuation of the preceding one, as it was understood in FE (→EE), or the beginning of a new one, as it was most probably reproduced by Fontana – in FC the slur at the end of b. 703 does not suggest a continuation. Therefore, the continuous slur of GE1 (→GE2) must be considered an inaccuracy, corrected in GE3.

b. 725-731

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Dashes in A (→FC) & GE2 (→GE3)

No dashes in FE (→EE) & GE1

..

The missing dashes marking the range of cresc. are an inaccuracy of FE (→EE) and GE1. Omission of such dashes is a quite frequent discretion of Chopinesque first editions.
