b. 86-87

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

In JC there is no  returning e on the 2nd crotchet in bar 86; in turn, there are two other unjustified signs – before D on the 3rd crotchet and a  before e at the beginning of bar 87. According to us, the latter were mistakenly written two crotchets too far, hence we omit them.

b. 99

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

In JC the lower voice was not written down (neither the quaver nor the ties), which is a patent error. We do not complete this notation, as it is impossible to determine what was exactly omitted by the copyist.
