b. 189

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

Like in b. 45, of which the discussed bar is a literal repetition, FE (→GE1→GE2) are lacking in the accidental before the 5th semiquaver from the end, which results in a g2. The mistake was corrected in EE and GE3.

b. 189

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

Like in b. 45, FE repeated a  before a, the bottom note of the penultimate L.H. quaver. It is probably a result of the latest stage of proofreading of FE, since this accidental is absent both in GE and EE.

No marking in FE

at end of bar in GE & EE

[] suggested by the editors

Like in b. 46, of which the discussed bar is a literal repetition, we add a  mark before the 3rd beat of the bar. The mark was also added, yet at the end of the bar, in GE and EE.

b. 190

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

The penultimate R.H. semiquaver in EE is an a1. It is most probably an example of overzealousness of the reviser, who was supposed to detect the overlooked cancellations of alterations, and who did not realise that a1 at the beginning of the 2nd triplet is not an alteration, but a note proper of the reigning key (B major since b. 184), in addition, an element of the chord constituting the harmonic base.

b. 190-191

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we omit the cautionary  before b1 at the beginning of the 3rd beat of b. 190, and we add a  before b1 at the beginning of b. 191. The latter was also added in GE3.
