b. 22

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Chord without b1 in GE & FE (→EE1)

Chord with b1 in EE2
..

The chord with b1 in EE2 (→EE3) is an arbitrary revision, probably resulting from a comparison with b. 48 and 281, in which the first chord features that note in all sources (probably by mistake).

b. 23-24

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Single d2 in GE

2 d & 2 d2 in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we include the middle notes (d and d2) added to the A-a and a1-a2 octaves; Chopin added them while proofreading FE (→EE).

b. 25

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In FE (→EE1) the  lowering g to g is missing. This patent oversight, probably by Chopin himself, was corrected in EE2.

b. 26

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

b. 28

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

f-f1 on the last quaver in GE

f-c1-e1-f1 in FE (→EE)
..

The empty octave on the last L.H. quaver in GE is probably a mistake of the engraver (cf. analog. b. 54 and 287). It could also be the initial version, analogous to b. 32, 58, 104, 108 and 291, and perhaps overlooked in [A] at the time of entering corrections into b. 54 and 287 and supplemented in the basis for FE.
