Pitch

b. 62

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In FE (→GE1,EE), there is no  restoring e3 on the 7th note of the run from the end. The patent mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3). The absence of a respective correction in EE is noteworthy, in which space for an accidental was left before this note. It is likely that the engraver forgot to insert the accidental intended by the reviser. The same in b. 206.

b. 62

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In FE (→GE1), there are no accidentals before the 1st, 3rd and 6th notes under the octave sign, which creates doubt as to their sound (at least theoretically). Corresponding accidentals –  e3,  f3 and  d3 – were added in EE, while the first also in GE2 (→GE3). We also include them in the main text. A similar situation can be found in b. 206.

Slur in FE (→GE)

2 slurs in EE

3 slurs suggested by the editors
..

The fact that some fragments of the melodic line were left without slurs is almost certainly an inaccuracy of notation, hence in the main text we suggest completing the slurring. The version of EE must be a result of a revision, in which the existing slur was supplemented with another one, modelled after analogous b. 29.

In the main text we add cautionary flats before a3 and a1.

b. 73-74

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before b2 in b. 73. The accidental was already added in GE as well as in EE2. Moreover, we add flats lowering c1 to c1 in b. 73 and c to c in b. 74, overlooked in FE. The former was added both in GE and EE, while the latter only in GE and EE2.
