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

Dotted crotchet b1 in A (→FEEE,GE1GE2)

Quaver b1 in GE3 (→GE4GE5)

..

GE3 (→GE4GE5) overlooked the additional stem and dot, extending the bquaver, probably due to inattention.

Dots in A (→FEEE)

No last dot in GE1

No dots in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5)

..

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 (→GE3GE4GE5) is probably a revision.

It is hard to state why the  hairpins in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) were deleted. The graphic layout of the bar indicates rather an intentional action of the revisers than a possible engraving error.

In A Chopin undoubtedly overlooked the  raising g1 to g1 in the written grupetto. He did not correct the mistake in the proofreadings of FE either. The necessary sign was added only by the revisers of GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) & EE2.

b. 40

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

Slur in A (contextual interpretation) & in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5)

Slur in FE (→GE1,EE)

..

The slur of A, although poorly written, is most probably supposed to begin in the middle of the bar, together with the continuation of the melody of the top voice. However, in FE (→GE1,EE) the slur started erroneously already from the 1st note in bar 40. In GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) an accurate revision was performed, by writing the slur from the beginning of the triplet.
