b. 7

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

The cautionary  before b in the last R.H. chord, present in the majority of the sources and poorly justified, was removed only in EE2.

No sign in EE

The missing  in EE is probably an oversight, although it is likely that the hairpin was intentionally omitted as supposedly superfluous along with cresc. The shift of the mark in GE1 could be considered an inaccuracy, yet its extension in GE2 (→GE3) was almost certainly intentional – attempts were made to bring the beginning of the hairpin towards the 1st quaver.

b. 7-9

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Continued slur to end of bar 8 in Afrag

New slur to end of bar 8 in A1, literal reading

2 slurs in A1, contextual interpretation

New slur to bar 9 in FE1

Continued slur to bar 9 in GE

No slur in FE2 & EE
..

To the main text we adopt the version of GE, consistently present also in analogous b. 31-33 and 63-65, which shows that the notation of [A2] was almost certainly like that. We can also see the continuation of the slur over the rest in b. 7 written by Chopin's hand in Afrag, while the fact that the slur was led to b. 9 is confirmed by the slur of A1 in b. 32-33 and possible Chopinesque proofreading of FE1 in b. 8-9 and FE2 in b. 64-65. The version of EE and FE2 is erroneous. See also b. 5-6.

b. 7-8

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

g1 repeated in AI & AF (→FE→EE)

g1 tied in GE
..

Like in b. 3-4, in the main text we give the version with tied g1, coming probably from [AG] (→GE).
