Slur in A

No slur in FE

Slur in GE i EE

..

The absence of the R.H. slurs in FE (except for the first, under the semiquavers) is most probably a side effect of changes to the layout of the R.H. part. These changes, introduced in print, comprised all instances of this bar (bars 20, 68 and 124), but a slur over the upper voice, which probably should have appeared each time, is only printed in bar 124, owing to the engraver's negligence or Chopin's inadvertence. In the editors opinion the slur was meant to replace the slur in the lower voice, written in A. In GE and EE the slur over the upper voice was also reproduced in bars 20 and 68 (in GE Chopin's inspiration cannot be excluded). Cf. note regarding the L.H. part.

b. 29-31

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

..

FE (→GE1) overlooked the staccato dots under the 3rd octave in the L.H. in bars 29 and 31 (in the latter the dot was omitted already in A). GE1 also overlooked the dot over the 1st chord in the L.H. in bar 30.

b. 31

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

..

A (→FEGE1) has no rising c1 to c1. The obvious inaccuracy of Chopin's notation was corrected in EE and GE2 (→GE3GE4).

Short accent in A

No mark in FE (→GE1,EE)

Long accent in GE2 (→GE3GE4)

..

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.
