No slur in JC

Slur in EF & PE
..

Compatible versions of EF and PE suggest an oversight of the slur in JC. However, it is possible that the slur appeared in [AI] later or it was Fontana who added it in his edition, knowing or guessing Chopin's intentions in relation to this detail.

e3 in JC

f3 in EF & PE
..

In JC, the last note in this bar is an e3. The mistake is revealed by the shape of the relevant fragment of figurations in the next bar, and first of all, by the compatible version of EF and PE.

b. 71

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

In EF first three groups of demisemiquavers are written with an octave sign. In JC the notes are written in the same way, yet the octave sign was omitted, which is a patent error. In this graphic layout the f2 note at the beginning of the 4th group requires the  sign to be repeated, which actually is featured both in JC and EF.
