b. 1-14

composition: Op. 28 No. 10, Prelude in C♯ minor

Arpeggio signs in A (→FE→EE)

No signs in FC (→GE)
..

The omission of 9 out of 20 arpeggios in b. 1-2 and analog. in FC (→GE) resulted from inadvertence, perhaps haste of the copyist. Characteristically, 8 of these oversights fall on the second part of the piece, b. 9-10 and 13-14.

b. 1-2

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Longer slurs in GE

Shorter slurs in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we put longer slurs after GE, which was based on [A]. It is also compliant with the slurring in subsequent bars.

b. 1-4

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Single slurs in FE (→EE) & GE1

Double slurs in GE2
..

In GE2 L.H. slurs were added in b. 1-4; we consider them superfluous – in such parallel sequences, particularly those written on one stave, Chopin would be satisfied with single slurs, which should be regarded as referring to both hands.
