b. 311

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

FE1 lacks both the  raising e1 to e1 at the beginning of the bar, and the  restoring e1 two quavers later. In EE1 only a  before the 1st quaver was added, while in FE2 was also added only a , but before the 3rd quaver! Therefore, it was either misplaced or supposed to be a . The text of GE and EE2 (→EE3) is correct.

b. 311

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No marks in AsI & A

Wedges in GE (→FE,EE)
..

The wedges, added to the bass crotchets in GE1 certainly by mistake, were strangely consistently repeated by all the remaining editions. The source of the mistake could be the first crotchet stem, to f, which in A does not reach the notehead and therefore could have been considered a wedge.

We add a cautionary  before f2 in the main text.

b. 311

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In A the  restoring e2 is missing, which is a patent mistake – cf. bars 278 and 286. The accidental is present in AsI; it was also added in GE1 and repeated in the remaining editions. In the main text we also add a cautionary  to e1.

b. 312-315

Slur in EE

GC

FE

GE
..

The slurs in EE and GC (→GE) end in b. 314, and the slur in GE is placed below the chords (at the note heads). In the main text we present the slur found in FE as undoubtedly the correct one. Compare annotation in bars 296-306.
