Rhythm

b. 20

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Dotted crotched in FE (→GE)

Crotchet in EE

Crotchet tied to quaver suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we change the way the extension of the f bass note was written – the notation used by Chopin in analogous b. 168 seems to be clearer in this context. The missing extension of f in EE may be explained by an oversight of the engraver or by a later correction performed in FE.

b. 31

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In FE the 1st note is an erroneous quaver, which was corrected both in GE and EE.

b. 32

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

b repeated in sources

b tied, our suggestion
..

The missing tie of b is almost certainly a mistake – analogous b. 176 does contain a tie; in [A] b. 176 was almost certainly written in an abridged manner as repetition of b. 32.

b. 32

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

b1 tied in FE (→GE1,EE)

b1 repeated in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The missing tie of b1 is probably a mistake of the engraver of GE2 (→GE3).

b. 57

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Run begins with b2 in FE (→GE)

Run begins with g2 in EE
..

It is unclear whether the version of EE is the original notation, changed in FE (→GE) in the penultimate stage of proofreading, or a revision of EE. According to us, the former is much more likely.
