Issues : Errors in FE

b. 44

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

..

In FE (→EE) there is no staccato dot for the 2nd quaver in the bottom voice of the R.H., in spite of its presence in A. It is a patent oversight of the engraver. In turn, in GE1 the engraver did not include staccato signs for the bottom voice at all. The mistake was not corrected in the subsequent editions.

b. 45

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

..

Over the last quaver in the L.H. FE (→GE,EE) includes an erroneous sign of vertical accent. It results from a misinterpretation of A, in which Chopin wrote the ritenuto indication between the R.H. and the L.H. in such a way that the link between the "u" and "t" letters created a circumflex over that note. An erroneous accent was placed also in analogous bar 77.

..

None of the editions includes a wedge for the f2 semiquaver in the R.H. – both in bar 51 and in analogous bar 83. In addition, a respective correction was undoubtedly overlooked by Chopin while proofreading FE. The legitimacy of completing this sign can be additionally confirmed by the fact that it is visible in A also in a previous version of this bar, deleted by Chopin.

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.

Wedge in A

No wedge in FE (→GE,EE)

..

Both in bar 53 and analogous bar 85 the editions omitted the wedge for the 1st semiquaver in the R.H. The sign was certainly written by Chopin in A.
