b. 157

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
..

In A the c1-e1 third at the beginning of b.153 (and 161, marked as repeat) is not dotted. The corresponding b. 149 (157) is indecipherable in the charred manuscript; there is no legitimate reason to differentiate them. The augmentation dots in place in FC3 (→FE→IE), GE and EE may well have been added by the copyist, who must have assumed the Chopin had omitted them (as in A Chopin indeed had a few of omissions).

Indications in A (→EE,GC→GE)

No indications in FE

The lack of sempre forte nad marcato indications results certainly from an oversight by the engraver of FE. He omitted all verbal indications in the line comprising bars 156-160.
The designation sempre forte is placed in the sources around the middle of the bar, so that its beginning falls under the third (A→GC→GE) or fourth (EE) semiquaver. In the editors' opinion it is probably an instance of Chopin's mannerism of writing markings inside the domain of their application, hence we put the indication at the beginning of the bar in the main text. It bears no practical implication anyway, for the indication basically confirms the dynamics effective in the entire Presto.
#Wa replaced the word forte with the  sign.

b. 157

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

in A

No marking in FE (→GE,EE)
..

As in bar 53 the absence of  in FE (→GE,EE) is most probably a result of the engraver's inattention.
