b. 51

composition: Op. 26 No 1, Polonaise in C♯ minor

 
 
..

In the proofreading of FE1 Chopin changed the 4th quaver in the L.H. – the a-e1 fifth – to an a-c1 third. The fact of leaving e1 in analogous bar 83 has to be considered Chopin's oversight or the engraver's mistake.

No tie in FE (→GE1,EE1)

Tie in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5), EE2 & written into FED
..

A does not include a tie combining both a1 at the beginning of this bar. Chopin completed this defect in FED and in analogous bar 84 in the proofreading of FE1. The fact of leaving this bar without correction is to be considered Chopin's oversight. A tie was added also by the revisers of GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) & EE2, most probably while comparing two bars.

composition: Op. 26 No 1, Polonaise in C♯ minor

 
 
..

In A the first quaver in bar 52 is an A1, whereas in bar 53 – A. Chopin swapped them in the proofreading of FE1. The composer performed a similar correction also in analogous bars 84 and 85.

composition: Op. 26 No 1, Polonaise in C♯ minor

2 slurs in A

1 slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The engraver of FE inserted only one slur for bars 52-53. It could have been caused by the fact that in A Chopin deleted the previously written R.H. in bar 53, at the same time leaving the original slurring. The slurs could have been misinterpreted as one long slur, as the ending of the first and a bold beginning of the second one are interconnected.
