b. 153-155

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

Slurs in bar 155 in A (→FE)

R.H. slurs in GE1

4 slurs in EE & GE2 (→GE3GE4

..

Bar 153 is marked in A as repetition of bar 49. However, contrary to that bar, here FE did not complete the slurs in the 1st half of the bar, which has to be considered to be an oversight. GE1 added a slur in the R.H. only, the remaining editions – both. In bar 155 there is no slur in the L.H. in GE1, which is probably an oversight of the engraver.

In A we mark this bar in an abbreviated manner as repetition of bar 49, written with a mistake – see the commentary to this bar. The version of FE (→EE), in which the chords omitted at the end of the bar were – certainly ordered by Chopin – completed, includes another mistake in the form of superfluous G notes. As a result, the correct text of the 2nd half of the bar, resulting from the interpretation of A confirmed by Chopin proofreading of FE in bar 49, appears explicite only in GE.

The sources differ in the notation of the rest embracing the 4th and 5th quavers of the bar, which we do not include in the given variants. In the main text, we give the notation used by Chopin on a number of occasions in A (bars 1, 3 and 5).

in GE2 (→GE3GE4) & EE2

No marking in FE (→GE1,EE1)

..

The omission of the  indication at the beginning of the bar in FE (→GE1,EE1) can be intentional, hence we do not include it in the main text. In GE2 (→GE3GE4) and EE2 the indication was added, most probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 51.

A (→FE) overlooked the flats restoring A and a on the 3rd beat of the bar. In the remaining editions, the inaccuracy was completed.
