b. 175

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Two voices in A

One voice in FE (→GE, EE)
..

It is hard to state whether the simplified notation of the part of the R.H. in FE (→GE,EE) resulted from Chopin's proofreading or the engraver's inaccuracy. The first of these possibilities is indicated by the addition of the lento indication in FE.

b. 175-176

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

..

All sources include naturals before d2 in bar 175 and before A in bar 176. Together with the  in bar 172 they prove that, after having changed the key signature signs, Chopin's awareness of the key in which the music is written was not entirely formed yet.

b. 175-176

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Slur in GC

Slur in FE (→EE)

Two slurs in GE
..

The slurring of GC is certainly incomplete and it was completed already in GE. In the main text we give the slur of FE (→EE).
