b. 125

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Quavers in FE (→EE1)

Semiquavers in GE & EE2
..

Semiquavers instead of small quavers are an arbitrary revision of GE. This inauthentic version was also introduced in EE2, most probably on the basis of comparison with GE1. The same in b. 126.

b. 126

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Quavers in FE (→EE1)

Semiquavers in GE & EE2
..

Just like in b. 125, the version of GE is an arbitrary decision of the engraver, repeated in EE2.

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Mordent in FE

No ornament in GE & EE
..

The absence of a mordent both in EE and GE suggests that we are dealing with an oversight of the engraver of FE, which made its way to these editions; however, in FE it was corrected in the last stage of proofreading. In the main text we add an accidental – often omitted by Chopin in such situations – specifying the pitch of the mordent's top note.

b. 198

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No sign in FE (→EE)

Arpeggio sign in GE
..

Just like in b. 54, of which the discussed bar is a literal repetition, in the main text we add an arpeggio mark before the L.H. chord. The mark was also added in GE.
