b. 1

composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

No dedication in JC & EF

Dedication in PE

Neither the person nor the surname of the dedication's addressee in PE are known to Chopinologists. It cannot be excluded that the dedication is an addition of the publisher – we know a couple of examples of arbitrarily added dedications by publishers even in the pieces issued during Chopin's life (by Wessel in London).
