Quaver d1 in JC

Minim in PE

The extension of the dnote, marked only in PE, is a typical Chopin's ploy. In bar 18, which is repeated in bar 45, the above mentioned edition features a less gracious notation with a clear display of the voices' convergence. The notation may have resulted from a misunderstanding of the notation of [A], hence we give here the equivalent simplest notation, used in bar 10.

The lower note of the sixth, f, is sustained with a tie to the on the 3rd beat of the bar in JC, therefore, it has to be a minim. Writing it only as a quaver is a patent inaccuracy, most probably stemming from a simplified draft notation of [AI].

b. 53

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

In this bar, JC has two additional notes, which remained here as a result of an erroneous insertion of the 2nd group of four notes from the subsequent bar. The enote was removed, b1 i c2 remained despite adding the correct text. Also the unjustified in the context of quaver rhythm dot extending d1 on the 2nd beat of the bar remained. It is possible that the lack of a crotchet stem next to the note is also related to the described error.

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