b. 3

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

in A

No marking in FE (→GE,EE)
..

It is not certain if  written in A was deliberately omitted in FE (→GE,EE). Given an identical indication appearing two bars earlier, Chopin's correction seems probable. Similarily in bar 107, see also bar 155.

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

Pedalling in A, GE2 (→GE3→GE4) & EE2

No markings in FE (→GE1,EE1)
..

The absence of pedalling marks in FE (→EE,GE1) is most probably an oversight of the engraver. The signs were added in GE2 (→GE3→GE4), probably on the basis of comparison with analogous places.

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

..

The overlooked in A flats restoring A and a on the 3rd beat were added in FE (→EE,GE). Similarily in the subsequent instances of this bar – bars 51, 107 & 155 (in bar 155 correction omitted in FE).

FE overlooked the  pedal release mark written in A. It was added in GE and EE.

b. 7-8

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

..

In GE1, probably as a result of an error, the 2nd beat of bar 7 and the entire bar 8 are written without staccato dots. In the subsequent GE, most likely in order to unify all occurrences of this fragment, the dots on the 3rd beat of bar 7 were also removed. Cf. bars 111-112.
