GC has here a mistaken chord e-f-a-c1-d1 (no ledger line above the two upper notes). The error was corrected in GE.

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

d1-b1 in JC & EF

d1-b1, our suggestion

..

PE features d2 as the upper note of the crotchet at the beginning of the bar. According to us, it is the so called Terzverschreibung, as using an incomplete chord in a typical cadenza formula ending an eight-bar section is very unlikely. Therefore, in the main text we give bwhich is present in JC and EF. We provide the note with a cautionary .

b1 in A

g1 in FE (→GE,EE)

Both versions may be considered as justified here, both from the musical and source point of view. In the version of A Chopin avoids tripling the leading tone g1. The version of FE (→GE,EE) may be considered as accepted by Chopin, who introduced changes, among others, exactly in this bar (pedalling) while proofreading FE. The accompaniment's figure in this version has a similar scheme to the figures in the preceding bar and is identical to the figure used in bar 8. In the main text we adopt the version of the base source, i.e. FE.

In GE1, undoubtedly as a result of an error, the fourth quaver in LH is d instead of b1.
