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

In A Chopin wrote an unnecessary cautionary  next to f. The sign was removed in all editions, however, in GE1 (→GE2) only partially, only in the repetition, whereas in GE3 (→GE4→GE5) already in both places.

We add a cautionary  before e2. The sign was placed in GE4 (→GE5), in which the revisers also added a  for e1 in the L.H. (according to us, unnecessary). Both signs appear in GE4 (→GE5) only the first time.

In bar 36 in A there are no accidentals, which is certainly Chopin's mistake – cf. analogous bar 11. The necessary accidentals were added in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), together with the cautionary sharps in bar 37.
