b. 294

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No c2 in GE

Tied c2 in FE (→EE)
..

The version of FE (→EE), identical to the version of GE and analogous b. 61 in terms of sound, possibly originated as an ad hoc correction of the engraver's mistake.

b. 294-295

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slurs from E to g in GE1 (contextual interpretation) & FE (→EE)

Slurs from  F1 to a in GE2

Slurs from E to a, our alternative suggestion
..

Like in b. 61-64, in the main text we give the unequivocal slurs of FE (→EE). The slurs of GE1, starting earlier, may convey the inaccurate notation of [A], which most probably indicates slurs of the same range. The version of GE2 must be arbitrary. Our alternative suggestion is based on the assumption that the engravers could have routinely interpreted the endings of the slurs.

b. 294

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Crotchet f1-f2 in GE

Crotchet f2 in FE (→EE)

Dotted crotchet f1-f2, our alternative suggestion
..

Like in analogous b. 61, in the main text we give the notation of GE, which is undoubtedly correct. In the suggested alternative version, the notation was brought into line with the authentic notation of subsequent bars, since there are no visible reasons to differentiate between the rhythmic values of the top and bottom notes of this octave.

b. 294

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Staccato dots in A

Wedges in GE (→FE,EE)
..

As in the previous bars, in GE (→FE,EE) the Chopinesque staccato dots were replaced with wedges, thus unifying the markings, carefully differentiated by the composer.

b. 294

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

c1 in chord in AsI & A

No note in GE (→FE,EE)
..

The absence of c1 in the last chord is most probably an oversight by the engraver of GE (→FE,EE) caused by the notation of A, which is not entirely clear. The presence of this note in AsI, however, is a strong argument for a similar interpretation of the notation of A.
