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

Quintuplet in A

Triplet & 2 quavers in FE (→GE,EE)

The quintuplet on the 2nd and 3rd beat of the bar in A is the original version – in the proofreading of FE1 Chopin introduced a 3+2 rhythm, which was repeated in all further editions.

b. 36-37

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

In bar 36 in A there are no accidentals, which is certainly Chopin's mistake – cf. analogous bar 11. The necessary accidentals were added in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), together with the cautionary sharps in bar 37.

b. 38

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

The beginning of the D major section is rich in deletions in A. They suggest, i.a., that Chopin started writing notes without having marked the change of key (the deleted f² minim among the key signature on the top stave) and that he added dots on the right hand side of the repetition sign later (deletion of braces, directing the repetition sign backwards).
