b. 129

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we add cautionary naturals before g3 and g.

b. 130

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

b1 in FE (→GE) & EE2

a1 in EE1
..

EE1 features the initial version of the 6th semiquaver, changed in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The changes of the correction performed on the plate are clearly visible in FE. In addition, the changed note (b1) was provided with a cautionary , which we omit in the main text, since it is superfluous in this context. The accidental was also removed in GE; it is also absent in EE2, in which the corrected note was introduced probably on the basis of GE1.

b. 131-132

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

dim. in bar 132 in FE (→GE)

dim. in bar 131 in EE
..

The fact that dim. appears earlier is probably the initial version of this fragment's dynamics, changed by Chopin in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). In addition to moving this indication, Chopin probably added a long accent at the beginning of b. 132, emphasising the moment from which the diminuendo should begin.

b. 132

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Minim e1 in FE (→EE)

Minim c1 in GE
..

In GE1 the minim is printed at the pitch of e1, however, the ledger line below the note is missing, as a result of which it looks like c1. Consequently, GE2 (→GE3) features here c1, which is a mistake.
