In the main text we give the  hairpin entered by Chopin into FC (→GE).

b. 107-108

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No markings in A (→FCGE1)

One-bar pedalling in FE (→EE)

Two-bar pedal in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In the main text we give the two-bar pedal entered by Chopin into FC in analog. b. 239-240. FC is devoid of pedalling in the discussed bars, which is almost certainly Chopin's oversight: see the corresponding note in b. 105. In FE (→EE) there are two one-bar pedals, which may be considered an authentic variant; however, it is most likely a hastily written, less deliberate version.

The version of GE, in which the first two bars of this phrase are in the key of B minor, must be erroneous. It is the engraver of GE1 or Chopin in [A] that could be suspected of an oversight – after b. 103-106, in the key of C minor, with d notes consolidated thanks to the G7 major chord (appearing three times), he could have considered d to be obvious. Moreover, if – hypothetically – he had wanted to change here the harmonic scheme with respect to the two previous appearances of this phrase (b. 27-34 and 53-60), he would have carefully marked such a change.

b. 107

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur in GE1, literal reading

No sign in FE (→EE) & GE2

Arpeggio sign, contextual interpretation of GE1

..

As was the case with analogous b. 31 and 57, the slur of GE, although formally correct, is most probably inaccurate and marks a grace note and an arpeggio (written down as a vertical slur). The missing slur (arpeggio) in FE (→EE) is most probably an oversight by the copyist in [FC] or by the engraver.

b. 107

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur from grace note in GE1 & FE

Slur from crotchet in EE & GE2

..

The slur starting later in EE and GE2 is most probably due to the publishers' routine revisions.
