b. 111-112

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we omit the unjustified cautionary flats before the a1 notes. These accidentals are absent in the repetition of this phrase in b. 119-120; therefore, Chopin could have been driven by the key to which the music strives – G minor in b. 111-112, yet D major in b. 119-120.

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Short accents in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accents suggested by the editors
..

We reproduce the four accents over the L.H. chords as long accents. According to us, they emphasise characteristic two-note motifs, used by Chopin on a number of occasions in other pieces. In the Etude in G Major, Op. 10 No. 5, b. 17-21, in the proofread version of the French edition, the motifs were provided with marks that were almost certainly long accents according to the composer's intention.
The same in b. 119.

b. 114

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

EE1 is lacking in the cautionary  before a2. The accidental was added in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE) and – probably on the basis of GE1 – in EE2.
