In EF, there is no indication: Trio. Perhaps Fontana considered it as an auxiliary hint, making the form of the Polonaise more precise, and unnecessary one, as the entire piece is written in extenso.

 in EF is probably an addition by Fontana, yet in this case it most probably corresponds to the authentic indication included in PE.

According to us, the indication tenuto adopted in the main text, appearing in PE, may be related to the issue of slur-like lines (slurs?, ties?) between the d and d1crotchets and the chords on the 3rd beat of the bar.
