b. 137

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Tie to g in A, GE2 (→GE3→GE4) & EE2

No tie in FE (→GE1,EE1)
..

The absence of the tie of g is almost certainly an oversight of the engraver of FE. The tie was added in later GE and EE certainly on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 33.

b. 137-138

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

..

In GC and FE, which certainly reproduce the notation of [A], the naturals before the g and d notes are written only in the extreme voices – next to the bottom notes in the L.H. and top in the R.H. An exception are the D1-D octaves (both notes provided with naturals, although in FE1-FE3 only in bar 138) and the devoid of  g3 note in bar 138. In GE and EE the notation is correct (except for the devoid of naturals D1-D quaver in bar 137 in EE1).

b. 137

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

New slur in GC (→GE)

No slur in FE

Slur continued in EE
..

The continuous slur in EE is probably a result of a misunderstanding, related to the adjustment of the slurs to the changed graphical layout – cf. the note on slurs in bars 132-137. In the main text, we give hence the beginning of the slur after GC (→GE). See also bars 140-141.

b. 137

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Quaver F in A (→FE→EE)

Staccato quaver F in GE

No F in FES
..

As in bar 33, in the ninth chord in the L.H. at the beginning of the bar Chopin deleted F in the FES pupil's copy. The facilitation can be considered to be a variant for a small hand.
