In A and all editions, the e1 note on the 3rd crotchet in the bar is wrongly a double dotted crotchet. In AsI the note has the correct rhythmic value.

Slur in A

No slur in GE (→FE,EE,FESB)

In all editions, bar 47 is the final one in the line; moreover, the slur that reaches b. 48 was overlooked in it – it is only the ending of that slur that was printed in b. 48 (in FE this fragment was overlooked too). The diligence with which three different editions – EE, FESB and GE3 – reproduced this clearly erroneous notation is truly puzzling. In our transcriptions, due to a different layout, we treat the versions of all editions as not including a slur.

As was the case with b. 23-24 and analogous, we base the main text on FE, which was proofread by Chopin; we only omit the d note, which was certainly added by mistake to the A-a demisemiquaver in b. 50. That note was also abandoned by EE2 (→EE3), probably on the basis of a comparison with analogous b. 283.

b. 50

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Two rhythmic errors crept into FE1 here: at the beginning of the bar a dotted quaver and a semiquaver instead of a dotted semiquaver and demisemiquaver (in both parts) and a quaver triplet instead of a semiquaver triplet in the L.H. The latter was corrected in FE2 and EE1, while EE2 (→EE3) corrected both mistakes.
