Rhythm

b. 164

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

f tied in FE (→GE)

f repeated in EE
..

The absence of the tie of f in EE must be a mistake, perhaps repeated after a proof copy of FE not including the last corrections.

b. 176

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

b1 tied in FE (→GE1,EE)

b1 repeated in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The missing tie of b1 is almost certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE2 (→GE3) – the tie in GE1 blends in with the stave, whereas in GE1a it is actually imperceptible.

b. 201

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Run begins with b2 in FE (→GE)

Run begins with g2 in EE
..

Just like in b. 57, the version of EE is most probably the initial one, changed in FE (→GE) in the last stage of proofreading, yet a revision of EE cannot be entirely ruled out.

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

L.H. part in FE (→GE)

L.H. part & slur in EE

L.H. part suggested by the editors

L.H. part & slur suggested by the editors
..

Like in b. 57, the way the L.H. and the R.H. are aligned almost certainly suggests a mistake, since it results in harmonic discrepancy. Therefore, in the main text we arrange the L.H. part in accordance with the rhythmic values of the first two R.H. notes. In addition, in the main text we suggest adding a L.H. slur after a similar figure from the preceding bar as well as in b. 17-18. The slur was also added in EE, running from the first out of two semiquavers.

b. 202

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No f on 3rd beat in sources

Tied quaver f suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we add an f quaver (tied) on the 3rd beat of the bar, by analogy to b. 20 and 164.
