b. 659-660

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No marks in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE)

Short accents in GE2 (→GE3)

Long accents suggested by the editors
..

Just like in b. 208-209, in the main text we add long accents after b. 200-201. The addition – with the use of short accents – was also introduced in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 662-663

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

c2 repeated in A (→FC→GE1)

c2 tied in FE (→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)
..

The tie of c2, probably overlooked in A (→FC→GE1) in b. 211-212 (the discussed bars are a repetition thereof), was added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE) as well as – probably by analogy with b. 79-80 – in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 664

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No marking in A (→FE→EE)

in FC (→GE)
..

Chopin added the  indication in FC (→GE) in b. 213, and the discussed bar is a repetition thereof.

b. 664-665

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No indication in A (→FE→EE)

dolce in bar 664 in FC (→GE1)

dolce in bar 665 in GE2 (→GE3)
..

According to Chopin, these bars were supposed to be an exact repetition of b. 213-214. Therefore, in the main text we give the dolce indication in b. 664, in accordance with the Chopinesque entry in b. 213 in FC (→GE1). In subsequent GE the indication was arbitrarily moved to b. 665, probably by analogy with b. 81-82.

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

in FC (→GE1)

Shorter  in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In the main text we give the  mark entered by Chopin into FC (→GE1) in b. 213-214. In subsequent GE – like in analogous b. 81-82 and 213-214 – the mark was arbitrarily placed between  and dolce.
