b. 247-248

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In these bars the sources include naturals (cautionary?) before the D crotchets – GE before both, while FE (→EE) only in b. 247. We omit those accidentals in the main text.

b. 250-251

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Fingering in GE

No fingering in FE (→EE)

..

Chopin could have entered here fingerings into [A] after Fontana had finished [FC].

b. 250-260

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No L.H. slurs in GE1 & FE (→EE)

L.H. slurs in GE2

..

Separate L.H. slurs in b. 250-252 and 258-260 are an arbitrary revision of GE2. One reason for this might be the changes to the original layout performed in that edition, in particular moving the R.H. part fragments written down by Chopin on the bottom stave together with the L.H. part to the top stave. Due to the separation of the parts of both hands, it becomes less intuitive that the slur over the R.H. part applies to both hands (we do not reproduce the layout of GE2 in our transcriptions).

Staccato dots in GE

No marks in FE (→EE)

..

Chopin could have entered staccato dots in b. 252 and 260 into [A] after Fontana had finished [FC].

b. 258-260

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur to e4 in GE

Slur to c4 in FE, literal reading

No slur in EE

..

In FE b. 260 opens a new line, in which the slur from the preceding bars is not continued, although its ending in b. 259 clearly indicates that it should be continued. It is difficult to say whether this inaccuracy was related to the fact that EE omitted the slur. In the main text we give the slur of GE, which is certainly correct.
