b. 109-111

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Shorter slur in GE

Slur to bar 111 in FE (→EE)

..

The absence of the phrase mark over the second part of the phrase is most probably an oversight suggesting that [A] could have had two phrase marks in b. 107-110, like in analogous b. 31-34. However, it is only speculation, hence in the main text we give the unequivocal four-bar phrase mark of FE (→EE).

b. 109

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No marking in sources

Arpeggio sign suggested by the editors

..

Taking into account the probably inaccurate notation of arpeggios in similar bars (cf. b. 33 and 55, in which there are no marks in GE), we assume that it is likely that the arpeggio mark was overlooked here; hence in the main text we suggest supplementing the notation of the sources.

b. 110

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Trill without ending in FE (→EE) & GE

Trill ending suggested by editors

..

A comparison with analogous b. 34, 60 and 293 suggests that the ending of the trill could have been overlooked here (perhaps by Chopin himself). Due to the above reason, we suggest a suitable addition in the main text.

b. 111-112

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No marks in GE

Long accents in FE

Short accents in EE

..

According to us, the long accents of FE could have resulted from an incorrect interpretation of the handwritten marks by the engraver. Therefore, in the main text we accept the interpretation of EE. The missing accents in GE are most probably Chopin's or the engraver's inadvertence.

b. 111-112

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Staccato dot to e in GE

3 staccato dots to a1 in FE (→EE)

4 dots suggested by the editors

..

Compared to analogous b. 87-88, in these bars the staccato articulation of the quavers is much less carefully marked in the sources. However, we can be certain that Chopin did not mean a different performance here, as the dots of GE and FE are complementary, since, when combined, they result in the same set of marks as used the first time. The differences, in turn, are most probably a result of inaccuracies of the engravers, the copyist or Chopin himself.
