b. 241-242

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

B tied in GE

B repeated in FE (→EE)
..

As was the case with the slur and tie in this bar (see the adjacent notes), GE contain a tie that is absent in FE (→EE). However, in this case the choice of the main text was influenced by stylistic and pianistic reasons – a tied B significantly complicates the performance with a minimal difference to the sound. Moreover, one could assume that playing both elements of the octave is an improvement, since it underlines the culminant nature of this bar. In this situation, the absence of the tie probably resulted from the change of concept by Chopin, who removed it in the basis for FE or while proofreading it.
