b. 1

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

..

Despite being clearly separated by Chopin in A, the tempo indication (abbreviated) – Allo – and the expressive one  – appassionato – were combined into one in GE – Allegro appassionato.

b. 3

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

No staccato dots in A & in repetition FE (→GE1)

Staccato dots in FE (1st time) & EE,GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) (1st & 2nd time)

..

The staccato dots for the 2nd chord are rather non-authentic. They were most probably added by the revisers, perhaps as a result of misinterpretation of A – one can see a minor fleck of ink between the beam and note head of the lowest note in the R.H. Moreover, the signs were added inconsistently: FE (→GE1) includes dots only the first time (in GE1 only over the R.H.), yet they are absent in the repetition. The revisers of EE and GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) added dots in both situations.

b. 4-5

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

..

In GE1, the first time, the slur begins erroneously already from the quaver rest in bar 4. The defect was corrected in GE2. In turn, in GE3 (→GE4GE5), also the first time, its beginning was arbitrarily moved, placing it over the 1st note in bar 5.

b. 4-5

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

 from bar 4 in A (→FEEE) & 2nd time in GE

 from bar 5 in GE (first time)

..

The first time, the  hairpins in GE begin only at the beginning of bar 5, which is most probably a routine revision (in the repetition the sign was reproduced accurately).
