b. 316

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Short accent in sources

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest a long accent due to the context, typical of such an accent, i.e. a long, syncopated note. In the absence of preserved manuscripts, we cannot verify whether this detail is compliant with the notation of [A], while in Chopin's pieces we encounter numerous examples of inaccuracies (sometimes quite manifest) in the reproduction of long accents by the editions (cf., e.g. the Prelude in F minor, Op. 28 No. 8, b. 1-2).

b. 316

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Slur in A

No slur in GE (→FE,EE)
..

The absence of the beginning of the slur the ending of which can be seen in a new line in bar 317 must be a mistake by the engraver of GE (→FE,EE). See bar 317.
