b. 74-75

4 staccato dots in A

1 dot in FE

No marks in GE1

6 dots in EE & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

In the 1st half of bar 75 Chopin probably considered staccato dots written under the part of the R.H. to be valid also in the left. In the 2nd half of bar 74, omission of the majority of dots in the L.H. in FE is almost certainly a mistake; the only printed dot (over c) was probably removed in GE1. EE and subsequent GE added dots in the L.H. in the entire motif, which almost certainly corresponds to Chopin's intention.

b. 78-79

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

No marks in A (→FE→GE1)

Staccato dots in EE & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)
..

We adopt the staccato dots in the L.H. in bar 78 and on the first two quavers in bar 79, added in EE and GE2 (→GE3→GE4), to the main text due to Chopin additions of dots in the proofreading of FE in analogous bars.

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

GE2 (→GE3→GE4) arbitrarily added staccato dots over and under the 1st chord embraced with the phrasing slur. Similarly in bars 90 and 98.
