b. 224

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Accent suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding an accent at the beginning of this bar. The accent is present in all three repetitions of this bar (in b. 228, 244 and 248), and, according to us, it is the composer's inadvertence or a mistake of the engraver of FE that are the most likely reasons for the absence of an accent in the discussed bar.

b. 224

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No marks in FE (→GE,EE)

Staccato dots suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we add staccato dots under the last two quavers after analogous b. 228 and 248. There is a similar situation in b. 244.

b. 224

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

EE1 is lacking in the cautionary flats before a1 in the L.H. crotchet chord and before b1, the 4th R.H. semiquaver. The accidentals were added in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE) as well as in EE2. In the main text we also add a  before a1, the 2nd R.H. semiquaver. Cf. b. 223.

b. 225

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

FE are lacking in the  lowering c2 to c2. This patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE. There is a similar situation in b. 241 and 245, which suggests that a corresponding  present in FE in this place the first time (b. 221) could have been added in a hasty process of proofreading, since b. 241-260 were probably marked in [A] in an abridged manner.

b. 227

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

e1-a1 in FE (→GE) & EE2

e1-a1 in EE1
..

Just like in b. 223, the version of EE1 is probably Chopin's mistake adopted from a proof copy of FE. The natural raising a1 to a1 was added in the last stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The correction was also introduced in EE2.
