In the main text we give the tie sustaining e1, added by Chopin while proofreading FE1 in analogous bars 43-44. The notation of A, in which almost the entire reprise of the Polonaise is marked as repetition of the first part, means that Chopin did not expect any changed between them. A similar addition was introduced in EE and GE2 (→GE3→GE4).
