b. 95-96

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In these bars Chopin overlooked the naturals lowering g(1) to g(1). It is proven by the absence of those accidentals in FE (→EE) and by the fact that they were added in print in GE, which is indicated by the gaps between the notes. The authenticity of the additions to GE is not confirmed, yet Chopin's mistake is evidenced by analogous b. 119-120, in which accidentals are present in all sources.

b. 98-102

No L.H. marks in GE1 & FE (→EE)

Staccato dots in GE2

..

As in the previous bars, in the L.H. part GE2 arbitrarily repeated the authentic dots present above the R.H. part (at the same time, the mark on the 2nd beat of b. 99 was overlooked, which was also the case in the R.H.).

b. 98-112

No L.H. slurs in GE1 & FE (→EE)

L.H. slurs in GE2

..

As before, the L.H. slurs in b. 98-102 and 111-112 were arbitrarily added by the reviewer of GE2; it unnecessarily specifies the compliant articulation between the parts of both hands, obvious in this context.

b. 101-102

No accents in GE1

Accent above upper staff in FE (→EE)

Two accents on lower staff in GE2

2 accents above upper staff suggested by editors

..

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.

b. 107

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur from grace note in GE1 & FE

Slur from crotchet in EE & GE2

..

The slur starting later in EE and GE2 is most probably due to the publishers' routine revisions.
