Issues : Inaccuracies in FE
b. 592-624

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
Among the R.H. chords in b. 592, 600, 616 and 624, it is only the one in b. 600 that is provided with an unequivocal staccato mark (dot) in A (and in the remaining sources). B. 592 could also contain a dot; however, the potential mark is quite far from the chord and blends with the end of the slur; it was repeated neither in FC nor in FE. The missing marks are most probably an inaccuracy, hence in the main text we suggest dots in all four places. Such an addition was also introduced in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccuracies in FC , Inaccuracies in A |

In accordance with the analysis of the Chopinesque or marks in this and analogous pairs of bars (see b. 6-7), in the main text we give the averaged, more or less one-bar hairpin of FC and FE (→EE). According to us, all hairpins, regardless of their actual length, are to be interpreted as long accents. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Scope of dynamic hairpins , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in FC |

According to us, the differences in the range of the hairpin are accidental inaccuracies in the reproduction of the notation of A. In the main text we preserve the mark inserted by Chopin's hand, although its starting point cannot be clearly related to the other elements of notation, which was probably the reason for discrepancies in the remaining sources. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Scope of dynamic hairpins , Inaccuracies in FC |

In both manuscripts the slur clearly reaches b. 632, although due to the absence of text in this bar – b. 632 opens a section written in an abbreviated manner as repetition of b. 181-244 – it may be considered an inaccuracy. It was regarded as such both in FE and GE. In turn, EE contain the correct slur, probably under the influence of b. 180-181. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE |

In the manuscripts these bars are marked as repetition of b. 197-198. In spite of that, FE (→EE) reproduced the mark differently than before, inaccurately. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |
