b. 157

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Accent in GE

No mark in FE (→EE)

..

The presence of an accent in GE sets this bar apart from all those based on the dance, mazurka accompaniment, which could suggest a mistake. According to us, however, there are no reasons to doubt the authenticity of the mark, since it is also the only bar in which the 2nd and the 3rd crotchets are octaves, which justifies the accent on the former, which is supposed to emphasise the atypical sound. The absence of the mark in FE (→EE) could be explained by an oversight of the copyist or of the engraver (as it is in many other situations); it is also likely that it was added by Chopin to [A] after [FC] had already been finished. In turn, it seems highly unlikely that Chopin would intentionally omit the mark; therefore, we introduce it directly into the main text.

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

These bars are absent in FE1, since in the only known copy coming from that impression the leaf containing pages nos. 5-6 is missing (including b. 105-168).
