b. 147-150

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No slurs in GE & EE

1 slur in FE

2 slurs suggested by editors
..

In accordance with the explanation in the note to b. 127, in the main text we follow FE and suggest adding a slur (in square brackets) in the second pair of bars. The missing slur in EE may be explained by an oversight of the engraver; however, due to the absence of the discussed bars in FE1, it cannot be ruled out that the slur had already been absent in that edition.

b. 147-150

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No marks in GE

4 staccato dots in bars 147-148 in FE (→EE1)

5 staccato dots in bars 147-148 in EE2 (→EE3)

5 dots each pair of bars suggested by editors
..

In accordance with the explanation in the note to b. 127, in the main text we include the set of staccato dots of FE in b. 147-148 (the set was completed in EE2). Moreover, we suggest adding dots in b. 149-150 (in square brackets).

b. 147

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

As in b. 139, in the main text we add a cautionary  to f and f1 and a  to e1 and e2, as well as to e1 in the alternative harmonic and rhythmic accompaniment.

b. 147

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In the main text we put cautionary accidentals to c1, f1 and e1. Chopin wrote only the middle one, a  to f1, and this is how it was reproduced by the editions. See the next note.

b. 147

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

No sign (d1) in A

Flat (d1) in GE

Natural (d1) in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we give the A version with d1 as the 2nd quaver of the 2nd triplet, along with the cautionary  added by GE. The natural added by FE (→EE) is almost certainly an erroneous revision, probably introduced in the belief that it is a cautionary accidental after d2(4) at the beginning of the bar, on a similar basis as the Chopinesque  to f1, which seems to be reminding that the  to f2 is no longer valid (actually, Chopin certainly did not warn us of f, which does not fit here at all, but of f, which is likely here – cf. d in bars 224-226 and a in bars 314-315).
