composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

FE are lacking in the  lowering c2 to c2. This patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE. There is a similar situation in b. 241 and 245, which suggests that a corresponding  present in FE in this place the first time (b. 221) could have been added in a hasty process of proofreading, since b. 241-260 were probably marked in [A] in an abridged manner.

leg. in FE

leggiero in GE & EE
..

The abbreviation leg. used in FE is ambiguous – it may be explained as leggiero or legato. However, if Chopin had wanted to change the indication with respect to analogous b. 223, which features leggiero, he would have certainly used an unequivocal indication. Due to this reason, in the main text we give leggiero, which is also compliant with GE and EE.

b. 230-234

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before e2 in b. 230 and 234. The accidentals were also added in GE3, whereby the latter was accidentally placed in b. 233.

b. 241-245

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

Just like in b. 225, FE are lacking in the  lowering c2 to c2. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE.

b. 241

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

There is no  before the  mark at the end of the 1st half of the bar in FE. It may be a result of a misunderstanding related to the abridged notation of b. 241-260 in [A]. The mark was added in GE and EE.
