In the main text we give the accents after PE. Although the sign in bar 13 is unclear, the musical context and partial similarity with the unequivocal accent in bar 14 allow to consider it as a misprinted vertical accent.

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

The accents in the main text come from PE. They are a part of major changes introduced by Chopin in the part of the L.H. of those bars, therefore, they have been included in the remarks concerning those changes in bars 13 and 14.

b. 13

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

In JC, the last third in the bar does not have a quaver flag, which is a patent error. The same applies to bar 40, marked in this manuscript as the repetition of bar 13.
