b. 1

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No title nor dedication in A

Scherzo à Mademoiselle la Comtesse Adèle de Fürstenstein in FC (→GE)

Scherzo à Mademoiselle Adèle de Fürstenstein in FE

La Méditation. Scherzo à Mademoiselle Adèle Fürstenstein in EE1 (→EE2)

Second Scherzo in EE3

..

A is devoid of both the title and dedication (it seems that the aim of the pencilled addition at the top of the 1st page is to identify the manuscript for ordering purposes). In the main text we give them after the complete version of FC (→GE), free from mistakes. FE (→EE1EE2) omitted the title of nobility of the dedication's addressee; there are also a few mistakes in her name and surname. Moreover, EE1 (→EE2) includes an additional, inauthentic title 'La Méditation.' The collective title page of EE3 omitted both that addition and the dedication; however, the Scherzo was marked as second.

No markings in A (→FEEE)

Pedalling in FC (→GE1) & GE3

Pedalling in GE2

..

In the main text we give the pedalling entered by Chopin into FC (→GE1). The same applies to analogous b. 150-151 and 601-602, although the difference in the placement of the pedal release mark is noteworthy. GE2 shifted the  sign to bar 19, precisely after those analogous bars. GE3 reinstated the original version.

b. 20-22

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur in bar 22 in A (→FE)

Longer slur in FC (→GE)

No slur in EE

..

The slur in FC (→GE) was extended by Chopin; the same applies to analog. b. 152-154. The missing slur in EE must be an oversight.

b. 40

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

 in A (→FEEE1EE2)

  in FC (→GE) & EE3

..

The missing  in A (→FEEE1EE2) was probably overlooked by Chopin: the bar closes the page, which favours distraction. The mark was added in FC (→GE) and EE3.
