b. 218

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

2 slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

1 slur in EE
..

Just like in b. 74, of which the discussed bar is a literal repetition, in the main text we correct the unquestionably erroneous slurs of FE (→GE). An identical correction was introduced in EE.

b. 218

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In addition to the much more serious change of pitch – see the preceding note – Chopin also changed here the rhythm of the 1st beat of the bar from  to 2 quavers.

In A (→FE) there are no flats lowering a2(3) to a2(3). The accidentals were added both by GE and EE.

b. 218-223

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Long accents in A (→FE)

Short accents in GE & EE

GE and EE considered the longer accent under a1, exceptionally accurately reproduced by FE after A, an inaccuracy of notation. The same applies to the beginning of b. 223.

b. 219

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major
