b. 214-219

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

From b. 186 to b. 219, the text of FE, encompassing pp. 17-18, is identical to b. 42-75 (pp. 9-10), since it was only two plates that were used to print these four pages in FE, out of which each was provided with double pagination.

b. 214

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Chord with e1 in A, probable reading

Chord with no e1 in A (possible reading→FE→GE,EE)
..

On the basis of the available photograph of A, it is difficult to say whether the chord at the beginning of the bar includes e1. It is difficult to assess such situations even on the basis of original manuscripts, e.g. in the Etude in A, Op. 10 No. 10, b. 76 (a, interpreted by the engraver and probably inexistent) or in the Etude in G, Op. 10 No. 5, b. 15 (overlooked e1, probably existent). As it would be the only difference between these two otherwise identical four-bar sections, we consider it unlikely that Chopin would have wanted to introduce such a subtle difference into these dashing and energetic phrases.
