b. 295

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Crotchet in sources

Dotted crotchet suggested by the editors
..

Like in analogous b. 36 and 62, we consider the missing dots prolonging the f1-f2 octave at the beginning of the bar to be Chopin's oversight.

In GE and FE1 there is no accidental to the bottom note of the L.H. chord on the 3rd beat of the bar (d). FE2 and EE added a , which we include in the main text. This and other additions were also introduced in b. 296-297.

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

The term staccato is already in AsI, added in pencil. It is placed slightly earlier than the indication in A, from the beginning of the bar, which is probably related to the arpeggio starting from the 2nd semiquaver (without a rest) – see the note below.
In GE (→FE,FESB) the abbreviation stacc. was used, and in EE this abbreviation was expanded. These are the arbitrary revisions by the engravers, in this case without affecting the meaning of this indication.

b. 295-296

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

..

In A the R.H. part is written on the bottom stave. It is Chopin's oversight – on a new page of A (starting in bar 295), he probably forgot that he wanted to use both staves in this section – cf. the A notation from the middle of bar 292 to bar 294 and then in bars 297-305. Therefore, in our transcriptions we separate the parts of both hands in accordance with the way the remaining part of this theme was written down. This was already done in GE (→FE,EE,IE).
