b1 in GE & EE2 (→EE3)

b1 in FE (→EE1)
..

In FE the missing  restoring b1 is almost certainly an oversight, which is proven by the compliant and flawless text of all sources in analogous b. 231 – f1 and not f1. The mistake was repeated in EE1, yet noticed and corrected in EE2 (→EE3).

No mark in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion
..

The fact that the mordent is absent in FE (→EE) also in analogous b. 240 makes us approach a possible oversight of that ornament with caution. This means that both versions are most probably authentic, while determining their chronology – problematic (as usual in this Polonaise). Due to the above fact, in the main text we opt for a variant version, i.e. mordent in brackets.
