composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Staccato dots in FE (→EE)

The missing staccato dots in the R.H. are most probably an oversight of the engraver of GE.

b. 134-137

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

The accents over the 2nd sixth in b. 134-136 and the wedges over the first one in b. 135 and 137 are arbitrary additions of the revision of EE – see the notes to b. 133-136 and 136-137.

The change of the range and position of the  hairpin in FE (→EE), although minor, is yet important – the mark of FE seems to concern the R.H. bottom voice, which does not result from the Chopinesque notation. According to us, it refers to the R.H. top voice, yet due to the notation without spaces between the great staves, its placement over this voice would be misleading – it could be interpreted as a mark under the L.H. part in b. 119. Taking into account the not entirely precise notation, in the main text we include a  in a variant form.

In b. 134 and 136, the Chopinesque manner of writing stems always on the right-hand side of the noteheads contributed to an incomprehensible reproduction of the two-part notation of AF by the engraver of FE and, consequently, the totally erroneous notation of EE. In the main text we give the simplest and probably the latest notation introduced by Chopin in [AG] (→GE).
Similarly in b. 138-140.
