The version of FE is a result of Chopin's correction, the version of GE – most probably of a revision. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the main text we give a slur introduced by Chopin in the FE1's proofreading in the analogous bar 124. The identical slur in EE and later GE is a revision based on the same observation. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

The visible in A repetition sign probably means that while writing the Polonaise Chopin anticipated repetition of bars 21-68 (the doubt raises, i.a., due to the absence of its corresponding sign in bar 21). The absence of this sign in FE (→GE,EE), which can be a result of Chopin's proofreading, indicates a change of decision and this is the version we give in the main text. One cannot also exclude an erroneous introduction of the repetition sign due to the absence of note text in the preceding bars, conducive to confusion, which was related to the abbreviated notation of bars 49-68. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

While proofreading FE1, Chopin changed and clarified the articulation indications in the entire meno mosso fragment. The main change concerned including the 2nd half of the penultimate bar under a slur ending each of the four-bar sections, at the same time deleting staccato dots under an extended slur (bars 71-72, 75-76, 79-80, 87-88, 91-92, 95-96). Moreover, Chopin corrected a few other places too, striving for a more consistent staccato articulation indication in analogous situations than in A – see bars 70-71. Both FE2 and GE1 repeated the version of FE1 without changes, although GE1 is not free from inaccuracies. In turn, EE and later GE added articulation almost to the shape presented in the main text (not including additional revisions, as in the 2nd half of bar 95 in EE and minor errors). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies , Authentic corrections of FE |
