b. 59

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

 

In JC, there are a few accidentals, unjustified as cautionary accidentals: a  before e1 at the beginning of the bar, a  before bon the 4th quaver of the bar, a  before the next a and a  before f1 in the last chord. The first and last of those signs are also in PE. The same applies to bar 95, in those sources marked only as a repetition of bar 59.

b. 60

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

In JC, under the lowest note of the chord, b, there is also g (without the extending dot), which is probably one of a few uncorrected mistakes (cf. e.g. bar 53).

The version of PE, in which the textural and sound scheme of figurations is disrupted, according to us without any visible reason, is most probably erroneous.
