b. 32-33

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

The flats before d and g in the part of the L.H. are included in PE (all of them) and JC (apart from d in bar 33). They are not present in EF. The use of signs in such a context is exclusively a question of convention, hence we preserve the notation of the base source.

b. 36

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

In JC and in EF, there is a cautionary  before the last a1. This unjustified in this context sign was repeated in [AI] most probably on the basis of bar 9. The sign is absent in PE. Cf. bar 37.
