b. 7

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

Quaver in A

Crotchet in FE (→GE1,EE), 1st instance only

Crotchet in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)
..

Chopin added a crotchet stem in the L.H. to the g quaver in the proofreading of FE1. The absence of this correction in the analogous bar in the written repetition in the editions most probably results from Chopin's oversight. We directly include this minor improvement in the main text, which corresponds to both analogous bars in the first editions. An addition was respectively performed in the bar being a repetition of bar 7 also in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5).

..

The c1-e1 third in the L.H. in FE (→GE1,EE1) is written monophonically the first time. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) & EE2 by adding a quaver stem to the top note; at the same time, a small unnecessary fragment of the stem was not removed, combining two note heads on their left side.

In GE2 the engraver overlooked the stem for e in the L.H. - only the note head was printed. In turn, in GE3 the reviser erroneously added this note to the a crotchet. The defect was corrected only in GE4 (→GE5).
