Issues : Inaccuracies in FE

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.

leg. in FE

leggiero in GE & EE
..

The abbreviation leg. used in FE is ambiguous – it may be explained as leggiero or legato. However, if Chopin had wanted to change the indication with respect to analogous b. 223, which features leggiero, he would have certainly used an unequivocal indication. Due to this reason, in the main text we give leggiero, which is also compliant with GE and EE.

b. 232

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

The flat restoring b2 at the beginning of the last triplet does not appear in any of the sources. It seems that it was believed that the  before b3 four semiquavers earlier was not a cautionary accidental only and that it was also valid in the case of the discussed note. The same in b. 252.
