b. 32

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

Staccato dot in A & GE

No mark in FE (→EE)
..

Same as in bar 7, the absence of the staccato dot in FE may be a result of Chopin's proofreading. The presence of the dot in GE seems to be a revision (inaccuracy?) of the engraver.

..

GE4 does not contain the accent for the last quaver in the L.H. Its omission could have been a totally accidental fault of print. In GE5 the sign reappeared.

Staccato dot in A (→FE→EE)

No mark in GE
..

The absence of the staccato dot for the G1-G octave in the L.H. in GE is most probably an oversight of the engraver.

No sign in A (→FE→GE,EE)

[] suggested by the editors

We suggest adding  hairpins for the L.H., same as in analogous bar 11.

b. 38

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

Dots in A (→FE→EE)

No last dot in GE1

No dots in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)
..

The absence of the last staccato dot for the bottom voice of the R.H. is undoubtedly a result of an inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1. In turn, the oversight of all dots in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) is probably a revision.
