b. 5

composition: Op. 26 No 1, Polonaise in C♯ minor

..

A (→FEGE1,EE) includes an erroneous A2-C tenth. It is a patent error of Chopin in the number of the ledger lines. The pitch of the note was corrected in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5).

b. 5

composition: Op. 25 No 1, Etude in A♭ major

No sign in AI, CDP & EE

 in A (→GE) & FE

..

Lack of the sign in EE may indicate distraction of the engraver, copyist (if it was a copy of A that was the base text to EE) or of Chopin himself, if it was another autograph that constituted the base text or if the dynamic signs were added by Chopin already after the copy had been prepared. Moreover, in EE there are no dynamic signs in bars 4-7.
Also in AI, the second four-bar section of the Etude is practically devoid of dynamic signs – the accent in bar 6 is the only indication of this type.

Pedalling in GC (→GE) & EE

Pedalling in FE

..

There is no pedalling in the previous sources. While preparing the Etude for print, Chopin most probably would add indications in three Stichvorlage manuscripts, which is directly proven by GC (the signs are written with Chopin's hand), and indirectly also by CDP, probably reflecting the state of [A] before the last retouch and additions. Hence, the earlier pedal release in FE cannot be considered a mistake, as analogous bars 24 and 55 are marked in the same way. In the main text, we give the possibly later notation of GC (→GE) and EE – cf. bar 24.
