b. 56-60

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

In GE the trills in b. 56 and 60 are written without a wavy line after . In the main text we follow the more suggestive notation of FE (→EE) in b. 56. The missing wavy line in b. 60 is almost certainly a mistake by the engraver of FE, since in b. 293, which is a non-written-out repetition of b. 60 in the manuscripts, the wavy line was actually printed.

Slur in GE, literal reading

Arpeggio sign in GE (contextual interpretation) & FE

No mark in EE

As was the case with analogous b. 31, the slur of GE, although formally correct, is most probably inaccurate and marks a grace note and an arpeggio (written down as a vertical slur), as was conveyed in FE. The absence of a slur (arpeggio) in EE, whatever the reason, cannot be authentic.

On the 3rd beat of the bar we suggest supplementing the Chopinesque pedalling after analogous b. 31.

b. 58-59

..

In FE1 there is not a single  raising g to g (in various octaves). The mistake, almost certainly committed by Chopin, was corrected in FE2 and EE with FE2 limiting itself to the g1-g2 octave in b. 58 and L.H. g1 in b. 59. The same applies to b. 291-292.

Arpeggio sign suggested by editors

..

In the main text we add an arpeggio mark after a comparison with analogous b. 33 as well as with b. 109. In the case of chords with such a span, Chopin most probably meant the marks placed in those bars before the first chord to apply to all the following ones in this and analogous bars.
