b. 134-137

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

The accents over the 2nd sixth in b. 134-136 and the wedges over the first one in b. 135 and 137 are arbitrary additions of the revision of EE – see the notes to b. 133-136 and 136-137.

b. 135

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering
..

The entry performed in pencil in FED is poorly legible, particularly its part over the b2-g3 sixth. We give the most plausible interpretation thereof.

b. 136-137

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No markings in FE

Staccato dot in GE

Slur & wedge in EE

Slur suggested by the editors
..

We suggest adding a slur in the main text, which, as indicated by the comparison with three previous similar motifs, was most probably overlooked. In turn, there are no grounds to regard the versions of GE and EE, in which the 1st quaver in b. 137 was provided with a staccato mark, as authentic.

b. 137

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we omit the cautionary  before c4, featured in FE (→EE). The accidental may be a remaining part of the initial notation of the preceding semiquavers as e3-c4, which would demonstrate that the enharmonic change was performed already in [A].

b. 139

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before g2. The same in b. 147.
