b. 183

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In the main text we add cautionary naturals to the d2-b2 sixth. A natural to b2 was also added in GE2.

b. 183

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

f2-b2, 4-note chords in AsI

b2-b3, 4-note chords in A (→GE→EE,FESB)

b2-b3, 3-note chords in FE
..

The 2nd and 3rd quavers in b. 183(2v) were changed twice by Chopin. In AsI the top notes of the chords constitute a fourth leap: f2 (the 2nd quaver), b2 (the 3rd quaver). At the same time, one can see that Chopin marked the already later version, written down in A, featuring b2-b3. In both manuscripts the chords are full, containing 4 notes each. The final version, in which f2 was removed from the chord on the 2nd quaver and f3 from the chord on the 3rd quaver, must be a result of Chopin's intervention in the stage of proofreading FE. The same applies to b. 199.

b. 183

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

As in AsI the repetition of b. 176-182 is not marked with a repeat sign but written out in full, there are still seven bars between b. 183(1v) and 183(2v) in this manuscript. The graphic and content transcriptions of these bars can be seen on an additional page, available via the below links:

In the system transcriptions of AsI we indicate the omission of these bars with a small gap in this place.
