Slur in JC

Slurs in EF

Slurs in PE

..

Each of the sources has a different slurring in these bars. When read literally, the slur of JC is not very convincing from the musical point of view, however, it is difficult to determine what could be the composer's intention in [AI]. It cannot be excluded that the right interpretation is included in the first slur in EF.
In the main text we give the slurs of PE, which probably come from [A]

b. 23

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

Arpeggio sign in JC & EF

No sign in PE

..

In PE there is no arpeggio before this chord, which in this context is certainly an oversight. In JC, both signs of arpeggio in this bar are placed after chords. It seems to be one of the numerous graphic slips committed by the copyist (it also concerns bar 50, which is not written out in JC).

b. 26

composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione

No sign in A1

Long accent in CJ, possible reading

Long accent in CK

in CB

 in EL

..

The marks in CJ and CK look like long accents, although the one in CJ is written a quaver later. Having compared it with similar b. 22, we consider the mark of CK to be more accurate. The versions of CB and EL cannot be authentic; however, the diminuendo hairpin in EL is one of the possible interpretations of the manuscripts.

In JC, there is no  before the upper note of the octave on the 6th quaver of the bar. It is an evident inaccuracy of the notation.
