This motif appears four times in the course of the Polonaise: in b. 26, 52, 78 and 285. In GE the ornament over the 1st note is always a 
, whereas in FE (→EE) it is a in b. 26 and a 
in the remaining ones. It is unclear how this difference came about; however, it does not seem that Chopin would change the ornament mark on purpose, particularly since in this context both versions of notation are allegedly synonymous (it is a rule for shorter values in faster tempi in the Chopinesque notation). Taking into account the above, to all bars we adopt the consistent notation of GE, based on [A].
