b. 119

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

..

A (→FE→EE1) has no  rising g1 to g1 on 4th L.H. quaver, like in other occurences of this bar. The obvious oversight was corrected in GE and EE2.

Crotchets in A

Quavers in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The notation with no additional crotchet stems to the 2nd and 4th quavers is probably inaccurate.

 in A

 in FE (→EE) & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

No sign in GE1
..

The  hairpins were inaccurately recreated in FE (→EE), whereas in GE1 they were most probably overlooked. In the subsequent GE the sign was added on the basis of analogous bars 18-19. In the main text we give the hairpins of A.

Slur in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Chopin changed the slur for the lower voice (a-g) to a slur over the upper voice while proofreading FE1. The latter intentionally pertains probably to the whole R.H. part and therefore to the lower voice as well.
