In EE two staccato dots on the 3rd beat of the bar were overlooked, while in GE2 the dot over a on the 2nd beat. In the main text we provide a complete set of dots after GE1 and FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , Errors in GE |

The missing accents in GE1 must be an oversight by the engraver – the marks in the last line of this section were overlooked. It is also in the case of FE (→EE) that an oversight seems to be the most likely reason the accent in b. 102 was omitted. Therefore, in the main text we give an accent in b. 101 after FE and suggest adding it in b. 102. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

According to us, the long accents of FE could have resulted from an incorrect interpretation of the handwritten marks by the engraver. Therefore, in the main text we accept the interpretation of EE. The missing accents in GE are most probably Chopin's or the engraver's inadvertence. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE inaccuracies , Authentic corrections of FE |

Compared to analogous b. 87-88, in these bars the staccato articulation of the quavers is much less carefully marked in the sources. However, we can be certain that Chopin did not mean a different performance here, as the dots of GE and FE are complementary, since, when combined, they result in the same set of marks as used the first time. The differences, in turn, are most probably a result of inaccuracies of the engravers, the copyist or Chopin himself. category imprint: Differences between sources |

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

The staccato dots added in GE2 under three L.H. quavers are an arbitrary revision of the publisher. The absence of a respective addition under the last quaver in the preceding bar is not accidental, since in this entire section (to b. 124) dots were added only in every other bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
