..

The missing accent on the syncopated L.H. chord in FE (→GE) is a patent inaccuracy of notation, hence we add it in the main text. The accent is also included in EE.

Like in b. 62, of which the discussed bar is a literal repetition, in FE (→GE1,EE), there is no  restoring e3 in the 7th note of the run from the end. The patent mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

No indications in sources

[Cor.] i [pizz.] suggested by the editors

..

In the sources, the fragments that are performed without solo piano in the orchestral version do not contain any indications concerning the instrumentation in the version for solo piano. In b. 1 and 15, in which an indication of an authentic instrumentation concept could be inspiring for the pianist, we add these indications in the main text based on the original orchestral voices. It is compliant with the custom adopted in the first editions of all the remaining pieces with orchestra composed by Chopin, which is also confirmed by the preserved autographs of the Variations, Op. 2, the Krakowiak, Op. 14 and the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21 (e.g. in the 2nd mov., b. 2-5).

POLONAISE in GE & EE2

[POLONAISE] suggested by the editors

..

In spite of the title, which clearly indicates that the piece is a polonaise, there is no indication that it is here that the actual polonaise begins, which we consider an oversight and correct it in the main text. It was already GE that introduced a relevant addition; it is also in EE2, most probably on the basis of GE.

 is probably a revision of EE – repetition of  could have seemed superfluous. There is also a possibility, although, according to us, highly unlikely, that this indication was initially also in FE, in which Chopin, however, changed it to  in the last stage of proofreading. After all, the composer's intention is not obvious here if we take into account the crescendi filling the following 6 bars. The orchestral voices also do not dissipate our doubts, since the cellos and double basses are provided with , yet violins and violas – with  (the remaining voices are devoid of dynamic markings here).
