b. 61

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

 in A

No sign in FE (→GE,EE)

Our variant suggestion
..

The omission of the  hairpins in the editions can be a result of an oversight of the engraver of FE1. Therefore, in the main text we include this sign as a variant suggestion.

b. 76

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

Long accent in A

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)
..

FE (→GE,EE) rendered a clearly long accent in A as short, a patent imprecision.

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

Inverted long accent in A & GE2

 in FE (→GE1,EE)

Short accent in GE3 (→GE4→GE5)

Accent written into FEJ
..

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.
