b. 103-104

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.

b. 186-188

Slurs from acciaccaturas to g1-b1 in GE

No slurs in FE1

Slur from grace notes to E in bar 186 in FE2 & EE

..

In the entire middle section, each time this theme appears, the grace notes go with the R.H. melody (cf. b. 129, 148-149, 206-208), hence we follow here GE, considering the version of FE2 (→EE) to be a an inept revision.

b. 274

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No accidental (d) in GE & FE1

 (d) in FE2 & EE

..

According to us, the version with d resulted from Chopin having overlooked the  in [A] (→GE,[FC]FE1). Therefore, in the main text we include the  added in FE2 and EE.

b. 283

No slurs in GE

Slurs in FE (→EE)

..

It is uncertain whether the two triplet slurs, added probably at the stage of proofreading of FE (→EE), were supposed to have any other meaning according to the person who was entering them (perhaps Chopin), e.g. motivic or concerning articulation. We do not include them in the main text and thus keep the notation of the corresponding bars (b. 50 and 283) in the first and final sections of the Polonaise coherent, as intended by the composer.
