b. 119-120

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

Just like in b. 111, in the main text we give long accents in b. 119. We also add them in b. 120 after b. 112.

issues: Long accents

b. 120-121

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Continuous slur in FE (→GE)

2 slurs in EE
..

In the main text we preserve the slur of FE (→GE), which is most probably authentic. We consider the version of EE, which one can see as an editorial revision or as the initial version of this fragment, to be a variant of uncertain authenticity.

b. 121

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Staccato dot in FE (→EE)

No mark in GE
..

The missing staccato dot over a2 in GE may simply be an oversight; however, it cannot be ruled out that the mark was omitted on purpose as allegedly conflicting with the continuous slur over this note.

b. 122

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Dotted rhythm in FE (→GE)

Quavers in EE
..

Two quavers in EE is the initial version, most probably authentic. In FE one can see that the dotted rhythm was introduced only just at the stage of proofreading.

b. 124

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise
