These bars – from the 2nd quaver in b. 220 – have their prototype in the second part of AImaz. In this autograph they were written down – as was the case with the first phrase corresponding to b. 200-206 – half a tone lower (from B
major in b. 220-226 to E major in b. 236-243) and with numerous differences with respect to the final version of the Polonaise. We discuss them in separate notes, providing the pitch after transposition half a tone higher, to the key visible in the main text and sources of the entire Polonaise.
