Our suggestion
..

In the main text we give the part of the L.H. on the basis of Chopin proofreading in bar 12 and 60. The version of GE is almost certainly a revision, unifying this and analogous bars after bar 164. It was repeated in EE2, despite the fact that in this edition it did not lead to such a unification.

b. 117-118

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 proofreading, the version of GE – most probably of a revision.
