b. 164-166

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No marks in FE (→EE)

Staccato dot in bar 164 in GE

3 dots suggested by the editors
..

The bass notes are provided with staccato dots both in strictly analogous bars 156-158 and similar bars 152-154 and 160-162. In this situation, the absence of dots in the discussed bars must be considered an oversight, since there is no doubt that the places are to be performed in the same manner (cf. similarly structured bars 456-471 in the 3rd mov. of the Concerto in E Minor, Op. 11). In GE, only the first dot was added, in bar 164.

b. 164

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Staccato dot suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we add a staccato dot over the 1st quaver in the R.H. after analogous bar 156.

b. 164

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

f tied in FE (→GE)

f repeated in EE
..

The absence of the tie of f in EE must be a mistake, perhaps repeated after a proof copy of FE not including the last corrections.

b. 164

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

a in chord in FE (→GE)

No a in EE
..

The absence of a in EE must be a mistake. However, it is uncertain whether it was committed in EE – there is some evidence that this version was initially also in FE, in which, however, Chopin corrected it in the last stage of proofreading. See the previous note.

b. 164

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

..

The majority of the sources are lacking in cautionary accidentals in this bar. The only exception is EE, in which naturals were added before b and a. We include the former in the main text.
