b. 60

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

in A, GE2 (→GE3→GE4) & EE2

No marking in FE (→EE,GE1)
..

The absence of  in FE (→GE1,EE1) is certainly an oversight of the engraver, added in the subsequent GE and EE2.

Our suggestion

In the main text we give the L.H. part in the modified version from Chopin's proofreading of FE (→EE). The version of GE1 is probably inaccurate, which, in the subsequent GE, was revised according to bar 164.

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

Chords in A

Dyads in FE (→EE1)

Triad and dyad in GE & EE2
..

The version of FE is a result of Chopin's correction, the version of GE – most probably of a revision.

 in A (→FE→EE)

 in GE
..

The distinct shortening of  sign in GE could be a mistake because there is no apparent reason for a revision.
