b. 296-297

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Crotchets in GE & FE (→EE1)

Dotted crotchets in EE2 (→EE3)
..

In the main text we include the revision of EE2 (→EE3) due to the authentic dots in the next two bars and in analogous b. 37-38.

b. 299

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Dots to a2-a3 in GE & EE

Dot to a3 in FE
..

The missing dot prolonging the bottom note of the octave, a2, despite the semblance of righteousness – in FE the bottom note is a quaver – is almost certainly an oversight. Wherever similarly written-down octaves (i.e. in two-part notation) are provided with dots, they are present next to both notes of an octave, irrespective of the notation of a given octave (one- or two-part).

b. 302

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Crotchet f1-a1 in sources

Crotchet a1 suggested by the editors
..

As was the case with b. 69, assuming an incorrect interpretation of [A], in the main text we suggest the notation of analogous b. 43.

b. 302

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Quaver a1-c2 in GE1 & FE (→EE)

Crotchet a1-c2 in GE2
..

As in bar 276, splitting the first chord into two parts – the a1-c2 third forming the upper crotchet – is an arbitrary revision of GE2.

b. 320

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

F tied in GE, FE & EE2 (→EE3)

F repeated in EE1
..

The missing tie to F in EE2 must be a mistake, corrected in EE2 (→EE3).
