Issues : Inaccuracies in A
b. 9-41

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

It is unclear whether the staccato markings with which Chopin provided the R.H. chords in b. 9, 17 and 33 (the missing marking in bar 41 must be an oversight, since it is the first bar on a new page of A) should be interpreted as wedges or dots. The ambiguity is confirmed by the sources based directly on A: the copyist interpreted those markings as dots, whereas the engraver of FE – as wedges. According to us, there are more arguments in favour of wedges, which we thereby suggest in the main text. The dot added in FE in bar 41 may come from Chopin, yet in this case it is also unclear whether the engraver interpreted Chopin's proof entry correctly. An identical addition introduced in GE cannot be authentic. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Wedges , Inaccuracies in A |

When interpreted literally, the slur of A encompasses only the quavers. A comparison with the analogous figures proves Chopin's inaccuracy, corrected already in FE (→EE). The missing slur in FC must be an oversight of the copyist, corrected already in GE1 (→GE2→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , FE revisions , Errors of FC , Inaccuracies in A |

b. 295-297

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

According to us, the majority of the sources led the slur up to b. 297 in order to clearly mark the fragment of A, heavily crossed out. A comparison with analogous b. 274, 376 & 397 proves that Chopin considered a slur reaching b. 296 to be enough, and this is the one we give in the main text. It was also the crossings-out that were probably the reason for the missing slur in the L.H., which we hence add. The differently led slurs of GE2 (→GE3), which repeated the erroneous slurs of GE1 from b. 274-275, cannot be justified, in terms of both sources and music. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |
