In FE (→GE1,EE), instead of the sign of a reversed accent, there are  hairpins between b1 and a1. The inaccuracy, clearly distorting the sense of the sign, was revised in GE2 and GE3 (→GE4→GE5) on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 47. In FEJ Chopin added an accent in pencil under the top stave, which, according to us, can be considered to be a temporary correction of the misleading notation of FE.

b. 84-85

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

2 slurs in A

2 slurs in FE (→GE1,EE)

1 slur in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)
..

Differently than in analogous bars 52-53, the engraver of FE inserted here two slurs - the first in bar 84 and the second in bar 85. GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) includes one phrasing slur for the last two bars, which is most probably a result of the reviser having compared the notation in analogous bars 52-53.
