Verbal indications

b. 132

b. 172

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

 in FE (→GE) & EE2

No marking in EE1
..

The absence of  in EE1 may mean that Chopin added this indication in the last stage of proofreading of FE. The mark was added in EE2, probably on the basis of comparison with GE1.

b. 221

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No indication in FE (→GE,EE)

'Solo' added by editors

In the main text we add the indication Solo, indispensable after Tutti, which appeared two bars earlier – cf. b. 77.

b. 221

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

risoluto in FE (→GE)

brillante in EE
..

It is difficult to explain how the risoluto indication was replaced in EE by brillante. It was probably an arbitrary decision of the publisher, although it could have also been the initial version, changed by Chopin in FE (→GE) in the last stage of proofreading.

b. 227

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

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.
