b. 52

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

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.

b. 82

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

Tied crotchet f2 in A

Quaver f2 & slur in FE (→GE1,EE)

Quaver f2 in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)
..

In FE (→GE,EE) the apparently unclear slur is almost certainly a tie sustaining f2, left erroneously by the engraver – see bar 50. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5).
