Issues : Errors in EE

b. 197

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

The second sixth in EE is a semiquaver, which is a patent mistake, although there is no visible reason for such an error – the most likely explanation seems to be that the semiquaver beam was added a great stave too high, i.e. instead of b. 203.

No markings in GE & EE

Pedalling in FE

..

In the main text we include the pedal markings of FE, added by Chopin probably to the basis for FE. The missing markings in EE are probably the engraver's mistake. See also b. 223.

Quavers &  in GE & FE (→EE1)

 &  in EE2

..

The change of rhythm on the 1st beats of these bars, introduced by EE2 and totally arbitrary, was meant to make them resemble the version of analogous b. 166-167. The decision to revise the text could have been influenced by the erroneous semiquaver beam printed in EE1 next to the 2nd R.H. quaver in b. 225.

Slur in GE & FE

No slur in EE

The absence of the L.H. slur is probably due to an oversight by the engraver of EE.
