Short accent in EE

..

In the main text we suggest a long accent after an analogous situation in b. 150. The mark was also added in EE; however, a short accent was used (like in the vast majority of cases).

b. 153-157

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Long accents in FE

in GE

Short accents in both hands in EE
..

FE feature long accents under the last quaver in b. 153, 154 and 156. GE reproduced them as a short  hairpin, reaching the 1st quaver of the next bar, which does not influence its meaning in this case (Chopin would sometimes use such notation in two-note motifs). The notation of EE is inaccurate (the use of short accents) and arbitrary (the marks having been doubled in the L.H. part, probably suggested by the authentic notation on the 2nd quaver of these bars).

b. 155

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No mark in FE (→GE)

Staccato dot in EE

Wedge suggested by the editors
..

The missing staccato mark must be an inaccuracy. In the main text we suggest a wedge, like in the analogous bars. Staccato was also marked in EE, yet with a dot, like in the L.H.

b. 155

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No mark in FE (→GE)

Short accent in EE

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

The missing accent in FE (→GE) is probably an inaccuracy related to the transition to a new line. The mark was added in EE (as a short accent). In the main text we suggest a long accent, like in analogous motifs.
