b. 10

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

d2 & d3 in A (→FEEE)

d2 & d3 in GE

..

Before the 8th note of the passage A (→FEEE) includes a  (d2). Chopin did not make any changes in any of the three preserved pupil's copies, hence we give this most certain version, as far as the sources are concerned, as the main one. GE includes a  before the 8th and 15th note of the passage (d2 and d3). A possibility of the change having been introduced by Chopin is indicated by the testimony of Mikuli (supported by RC), who in his edition of Polonaises (Kistner, Leipzig) states that at the time of Ms. Rubio learning this piece, Chopin added  next to d2 and d3. We bring up this version as a variant.

b. 28

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

..

A (→FEEE1) lacks  rising c1 to c1. The obvious Chopin's imprecision was corrected in GE and EE2, as well as in FES which displays  written in probably by Chopin himself.

b. 33

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

Quaver F in A (→FEGE1,EE)

No F in FES

Staccato quaver F in GE2 (→GE3GE4)

..

In the ninth chord in the L.H. at the beginning of the bar, Chopin deleted in the pupil's copy FES. The simplification can be considered a variant for a small hand.

GE2 (→GE3GE4) arbitrarily assigned a staccato dot to this note.
