b. 101

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Slur from in FE

Slur from in GE & EE

..

The slur of FE must be inaccurate, since there is no substantive reason for it not to encompass the entire passage. In turn, it is easy to misinterpret the beginning of the slur in this layout, if – which is highly likely – the beginning of the slur in [A] did not go beyond the top stave (cf., e.g. the autograph of the Etude in F Major, Op. 10 No. 8, b. 16, 29, 65 or the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21, I mov., b. 235). Due to this reason, in the main text we include the extended slur of GE and EE. A similar inaccuracy, although less significant, can be suspected at the end of this slur.

b. 101

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

No mark in AI & GE

Staccato dot in AF (→FEEE)

..

The lack of staccato dot in GE must be recognized as an oversight by the engraver or Chopin himself – GE has the mark in the analogous b. 9.

b. 101-102

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No accents in GE1

Accent above upper staff in FE (→EE)

Two accents on lower staff in GE2

2 accents above upper staff suggested by editors

..

The missing accents in GE1 must be an oversight by the engraver – the marks in the last line of this section were overlooked. It is also in the case of FE (→EE) that an oversight seems to be the most likely reason the accent in b. 102 was omitted. Therefore, in the main text we give an accent in b. 101 after FE and suggest adding it in b. 102.

No indications in sources

[m.g.] suggested by the editors

In the main text, we remind you that the bottom notes of the melody led in octaves are to be performed by the left hand, as indicated by Chopin while proofreading FE in the previous bars.
