| Publisher: | Breitkopf & Härtel |

| Plate number: | 5707 |
| Title: | Deux Polonaises pour le piano | Polonaise 2 |
| Dedication: | son ami J. Dessauer |
First German edition, based on FE1. GE1 most probably was not corrected by Chopin, although the change from d
2(3) to d2(3) in the grupetto in bar 10 and analog. seems to be puzzling, as a few years later Chopin wrote down this change, while developing the Polonaise with one of his pupils, Vera Kologrivoff-Rubio.
GE1 includes numerous inaccuracies and mistakes, e.g.:
-
no
in bar 10; - omission of the majority of staccato dots in bars 7-8 and all in bars 55-56;
- no ties in bars 41-42.
There are also numerous revisions, aiming generally at unifying the repeating fragments. A revision seems also to be – in spite of concordance with A – the addition of b on the last quaver in bar 13 and analog.
The visible in this copy numerous entries made in pencil are of no source value.
