b. 285

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

in GE

 in FE (→EE)
..

Like in b. 52 and 78, to the main text we adopt the notation of GE, based on [A]. Chopin would use both symbols interchangeably to mark a mordent; however, the version of FE may be regarded as a variant.

b. 286

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Arpeggio in GE, FE & EE2 (→EE3)

No mark in EE1
..

The absence of the mark in EE1 is most probably an oversight of the engraver, corrected in EE2 (→EE3).

b. 288

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Arpeggio in GE

No mark in FE (→EE)
..

Like in analogous b. 55, it seems unlikely that Chopin would have wanted to forgo an arpeggio in this figure. The missing arpeggio in FE could be explained by an oversight in the basis or by it having been entered into [A] after [FC] (→FE) had been finished.

b. 289

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No slur in sources

Slur suggested by editors
..

In the main text we give the slur after a comparison with analogous b. 30, 56 and 106.

b. 289-293

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

 in GE

in FE (→EE)
..

The trills in b. 289 and 293 are written down in GE without a wavy line after the  mark. In the main text we give the more suggestive version of notation of FE (→EE).
