b. 3-4

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

Pedalling in A, GE2 (→GE3→GE4) & EE2

No markings in FE (→GE1,EE1)
..

The absence of pedalling marks in FE (→EE,GE1) is most probably an oversight of the engraver. The signs were added in GE2 (→GE3→GE4), probably on the basis of comparison with analogous places.

b. 21

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

No note f in A

Note f in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In bar 21, the staccato dot, present in A over the 1st octave in the L.H., was misinterpreted in FE (→GE,EE) as an additional f note, which was annexed to the sixth in the R.H. Cf. bar 125.

..

A (→FE→EE1) 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. 32

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

..

FE (→GE1) erroneously inserted a redundant  mark at the beginning of the bar. The mistake was corrected in the subsequent impressions of GE and EE.

 in A, EE & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

No  in FE

 on last quaver in GE1
..

FE overlooked the  pedal release, what GE1 supplemented routinely on the last quaver in the bar. Later GE moved  under the 5th quaver, in accordance with A. The supplement introduced in EE is also basically converging with A.
