 simultaneously with chord in FE (→GE1,EE)

after chord in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Just like in b. 65, of which the discussed bar is a literal repetition, the shift of the  mark in GE2 (→GE3) is an arbitrary revision. See b. 25.

Just like in b. 72, in the main text we suggest adding a  asterisk in accordance with the harmonic content. The mark was also added in EE and GE2 (→GE3).

b. 217-218

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before b2 in b. 73. The accidental was already added in GE as well as in EE2. In addition, we add the flats (overlooked in FE) lowering c1 to c1 in b. 73 and c to c in b. 74. The former was added both in GE and EE, whereas the latter only in GE and EE2.

b. 220

..

Just like in b. 76, the dyad of the bottom voice (e1-a1) in FE is a crotchet. The patent mistake was corrected both in GE and EE.

b. 222

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Wedge in FE (→EE)

Dot in GE
..

The change of the wedge to a staccato dot is probably a revision of GE, in which the wedge, absent both in the preceding R.H. and L.H. figures and in the identical figure in b. 226, was considered a mistake. Indeed, a mistake of the engraver of FE at the time of interpreting [A] cannot be ruled out; however, since the repetition of this fragment (b. 242) is also provided with a wedge in FE, we keep this version, probably authentic.
