In the main text we give the tie sustaining e1, added by Chopin while proofreading FE1 in analogous bars 43-44. The notation of A, in which almost the entire reprise of the Polonaise is marked as repetition of the first part, means that Chopin did not expect any changed between them. A similar addition was introduced in EE and GE2 (→GE3→GE4).

In AsI there are no accidentals before the last two demisemiquavers in the bar. This time, Chopin's patent oversight – cf. analogous b. 137, 141 and 145 – remained unnoticed also in A (→GE→FESB,EE1→EE2). It was only FE and EE3 that added flats restoring b and b1.

Bar 153 is marked in A as repetition of bar 49. However, contrary to that bar, here FE did not complete the slurs in the 1st half of the bar, which has to be considered to be an oversight. GE1 added a slur in the R.H. only, the remaining editions – both. In bar 155 there is no slur in the L.H. in GE1, which is probably an oversight of the engraver.

A (→FE) overlooked the flats restoring A and a on the 3rd beat of the bar. In the remaining editions, the inaccuracy was completed.

a1 repeated in A (→GE1 →FE)

a1 tied in EE & GE2

The missing tie of a1 is almost certainly a mistake of Chopin, who did not introduce the changes performed in the R.H. to the L.H. It seems that a1(2) at the beginning of bar 158 was to be originally repeated – the crotchet in the part of the R.H. was even provided with a staccato dot, deleted then probably when a tie was added. This scenario is confirmed also by the dots over the crotchets at the end of bar 157 – see the note dedicated to them. A tie was added in EE and GE2.
