b. 202-213

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

From b. 186 to b. 219, the text of FE, encompassing pp. 17-18, is identical to b. 42-75 (pp. 9-10), since it was only two plates that were used to print these four pages in FE, out of which each was provided with double pagination.

b. 202

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

The corrections visible in AImaz reveal that not only did Chopin change the pitch of the top note of the 1st chord, but also the rhythm of the 1st beat of the bar. The starting point were 2 g1 quavers, not beamed: . Chopin then added semiquaver rests and shortened the second quaver: . Eventually, the change of the pitch of the top note of the chord brought further changes to the notation, including the abandonment of the rest in the R.H. part: .

b. 202

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Dotted minim in A

Minim in GE & FE (→EE)

The augmentation dot to F was overlooked in the editions due to the then convention of putting such dots in a place in which the tied note represented by the dot would be, in this case under g in the tenor voice. Chopin would use this convention rather as an exception (e.g. in the middle voices in bars 30-31 and 34-35 in the Etude in E, Op. 10 No. 3); therefore, it is not surprising that this dot, so far away from the note, was overlooked.
