b. 47-50

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Horizontal accents in FE (→GE)

Vertical accents in EE

..

The change of accents to vertical ones is a quite frequent arbitrary action of EE. In this case, they were additionally moved over the stave, which could be considered justified by the property of piano sound – accented notes sound longer. Interestingly, in analogous b. 191-194 EE inserted authentic, horizontal accents.

b. 48-49

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Accent in bar 49 in FE (→GE)

Accent in bar 48 in EE

..

The engraver of EE most probably confused these bars, hence the transfer of the accent.

b. 51-52

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No slurs in FE

2 slurs in GE & EE

..

The missing slurs must be a mistake of FE, in which these bars are separated by the transition into a new line. When repeated a bar later, this motif is already provided with slurs, which proves the mistake, as a result of which corresponding additions were already introduced in GE and EE. See also the note above. A similar situation can be found in b. 195-196.

b. 51

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

..

According to us, the accent was added here – probably by Chopin – due to the absence of the slurs, overlooked in FE (see the note below). In the main text we do not include this mark, since we add the slurs, and it is impossible to decide whether Chopin, upon seeing them, would have added an accent.

b. 52-53

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No marks in FE (→GE)

Staccato dots in EE

..

In the main text we add staccato dots under the B1 bass notes in these bars. There is no doubt that they should be performed with the same articulation as b. 51, hence Chopin could have considered the dot put the first time to be enough. It cannot be ruled out that the engraver of FE forgot to add a dot in a new line. Dots were added in EE. A similar situation can be found in b. 196-197.
