b. 139

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

..

GE1 overlooked staccato dots next to the first chord in bar 139.

b. 139-141

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

No marks in GC (→GE)

3 staccato dots in FE

5 dots in EE

..

Three staccato dots in bars 139 and 141 are present only in FE (→EE). Their absence in GC (→GE) may be explained with an inaccuracy of the copyist or their addition in [A] after the copy had been already prepared. In EE the three dots were completed with another two in bar 141, which, according to us, is an arbitrary decision of the engraver, related to the shift of the 1st chord in the R.H. to the top stave.

b. 139

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

No sign in A

Tie to F in FE (→GE1)

Slur e-f in EE & GE2 (→GE3GE4)

..

As in bars 35-36, the tie sustaining is most probably an erroneous interpretation of the motivic slur of e-f added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE1.

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

b. 139

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

No indication in A (→GE) & EE

sempre legato in FE

..

Chopin added sempre legato in the proofreading of FE, probably considering the accompaniment in this and two subsequent bars, devoid of slurs, requiring more precise articulation – in an analogous place in the recapitulation the L.H. is provided with slurs. In EE, in which the slurs were added here, sempre legato was omitted, which can be regarded as a rational solution, compliant with economy of indications, generally characteristic for the Chopin notation.
