b. 206

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

Like in b. 62, of which this bar is a literal repetition, there are no accidentals before the 1st, 3rd and 6th notes under the octave sign in FE (→GE1). In the main text we add respective accidentals –  of e3,  of f3 and  of d3. The first two were also added in EE, while in GE2 (→GE3) – only the first one.

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. 219

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

Just like in b. 75, the sources are lacking in the  raising b to b, which is a patent inaccuracy.

b. 220

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

e1-a1 in FE (→EE)

f1-a1 in GE
..

The version of GE, although harmonically possible, must be a mistake. It is proven by the version of FE (→EE), compliant with the incontestable text of analogous b. 76.

b. 223

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

e1-a1 in FE (→GE) & EE2

e1-a1 in EE1
..

The version of EE1, repeated then in all analogous bars (b. 227, 243 and 247), could have been the initial version of these bars. However, it seems to be more likely that we are dealing here with Chopin's inadvertence, corrected in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The correction was also introduced in EE2, probably on the basis of GE1. The a1 note is featured in the violas part, yet only just on the 3rd beat of the bar (after the rests).
