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.

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

In JC, both a1 in the group of semiquavers in the R.H. and a in the chord in the L.H. on the 3rd beat of the bar are provided with naturals. It illustrates Chopin's inclination to emphasise the 7th step of the major scale with cautionary accidentals, despite a correct key signature.

..

JC has a cautionary  before the 4th semiquaver, a1. In the light of the currently binding rules, a sign in this position is superfluous.
