b. 103-104

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In FE1 there are no sharps raising d1 to d1 in the L.H. part. The oversight (patent in this context) was corrected in FE2 and EE.

The version of GE, in which the first two bars of this phrase are in the key of B minor, must be erroneous. It is the engraver of GE1 or Chopin in [A] that could be suspected of an oversight – after b. 103-106, in the key of C minor, with d notes consolidated thanks to the G7 major chord (appearing three times), he could have considered d to be obvious. Moreover, if – hypothetically – he had wanted to change here the harmonic scheme with respect to the two previous appearances of this phrase (b. 27-34 and 53-60), he would have carefully marked such a change.

In the main text we add cautionary naturals to d and d2. We also add a dispensable  to f, in compliance with the notation used by Chopin in analogous b. 88; the accidental was also added in EE2 (→EE3).

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In b. 114, 116, 118 and 123 we add reminder naturals to the R.H. notes written down on the bottom stave – twice f and twice c – in accordance with the notation used by Chopin in analogous b. 90, 92 and 99. The naturals to f are already in FE (→EE), while to c – in EE2 (→EE3).
