b. 31

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Short accent in A

No mark in FE (→GE1,EE)

Long accent in GE2 (→GE3→GE4)
..

FE (→GE1,EE) overlooked the accent on the triplet in the R.H. It was added in the subsequent GE, presumably after the corresponding bar of the reprise (bar 135). A has a short accent, which is probably an inaccurate notation given the context and a distinct long accent in bar 29.

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

..

Accidentals in A are to be found only before the first chord and a2-a3 on 5th quaver in R.H. All the necessary signs were added already in FE1, and repeated in the remaining editions (except for GE1 which overlooked  next to a3).

b. 32

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

..

FE (→GE1) erroneously inserted a redundant  mark at the beginning of the bar. The mistake was corrected in the subsequent impressions of GE and EE.

 in A, EE & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

No  in FE

 on last quaver in GE1
..

FE overlooked the  pedal release, what GE1 supplemented routinely on the last quaver in the bar. Later GE moved  under the 5th quaver, in accordance with A. The supplement introduced in EE is also basically converging with A.

b. 33

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

4 staccato dots in A

2 dots in FE (→GE1,EE)

7 dots in GE2 (→GE3→GE4)
..

FE (→EE,GE1) overlooked the staccato dots over two quavers on the 2nd beat in the L.H. In the later GE, the dots were arbitrarily assigned to all F notes in this bar (cf. previous annotation).
