..

In A, there is no  restoring b2 in b. 138 and in the next two, which are marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of this bar. The mistake, typical of Chopin, was corrected by FE (→GE,EE), probably at Chopin's request. There is a similar situation in b. 142-144.

No indication in FE (→GE,EE)

..

Unlike in the case of the agogic markings in b. 125 and 136, it is difficult to find a justification for a possible abandonment of the scherzando indication. Therefore, we include it in the main text; we signalise its absence in the principal source by using brackets.
