Op. 22, Polonaise
In the further course of this finale of the Polonaise, b. 223-224 are repeated three more times – as b. 227-228, 243-244 and 247-248 – without any changes in terms of pitch or rhythm. It seems highly unlikely that these virtuoso, brilliant passages were to be at times performed with accents (adding brilliance) and at times – without. Therefore, the minor differences concerning the performance indications, consisting exclusively in their presence or absence, are most probably of accidental nature. The accent on b3 appears in two out of the four mentioned places, while the accent on d1 – in three, which, according to us, justifies the addition of an accent.
The same in b. 243.
