b. 57

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

Just like in b. 19, we consider the missing slur over the accompanying L.H. figure to be Chopin's oversight; in the main text we suggest a slur modelled after b. 17-18 and 56. A slur was also added in EE, yet, contrary to b. 19, it does not encompass the 1st quaver of the bar. See the next note.

b. 59-60

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

EE1 is lacking in the accidentals before the last semiquaver in b. 59 and the 4th note of the quintuplet in b. 60. These are patent mistakes – cf. the  lowering d2 to d2 in analogous b. 21 – probably committed still in [A], from which they got into EE1 through a proof copy of FE. In the very FE (→GE) Chopin not only added both flats in the last stage of proofreading, but also a cautionary  before d3 at the end of b. 60. All 3 accidentals were also added in EE2.
The same in b. 203-204.

b. 61

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

FE (→GE,EE) are lacking in the  restoring d2 on the 6th note of the run. In EE it is also the  restoring e2 two notes later that is missing. In practice, these mistakes are of no major significance, since there is no doubt that we are dealing with a chromatic sequence. See also b. 205.
