Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : Errors in EE

b. 55-56

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

Staccato in A (→FE→EE)

No staccato in GE
..

In GE the 2nd half of bar 55 and the entire bar 56 are written without staccato dots. As in bars 7-8 it is probably a mistake. Few oversights also occur in EE1 and EE2.

..

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.

b. 73-77

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

d1-e1 in A (→FE→GE) & EE2

d1-e1 in EE1

c1-e1 suggested by the editors
..

In the last chord in bars 73 and 77 in the main text we change enharmonically d1 to c1, considering Chopin proofreading of FE in bar 69 to be valid also in this place. EE1 erroneously swapped the accidentals in this chord ( was placed before d1, whereas  before e1). Actually, the sound of the resultant chord does not raise any doubts, yet the notation with the use of two superfluous accidentals is a proof of a patent mistake.

EE overlooked the  sign in bar 115. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4) both  were arbitrarily changed to – see the characteristics of GE2.
