b. 271

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No markings in sources

[ ] suggested by the editors
..

This bar was not written out with notes in the manuscripts, only marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 38. Taking into account the above, in the main text we suggest supplementing the Chopinesque pedalling on the 3rd beat of the bar, like in b. 38.

b. 274

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

Like in b. 41 and 67, the  restoring g2 in the last octave in the bar is missing in the majority of the sources. The mistake was corrected only in EE2 (→EE3), in which sharps were added next to both notes of that octave. In the main text we only add the necessary  next to g2.

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.

..

In the main text we add cautionary naturals to the D-d octave.

b. 276

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Quaver a1-c2 in GE1 & FE (→EE)

Crotchet a1-c2 in GE2
..

Similarly as in bar 43, splitting the first chord into two parts – this time the upper crotchet comprises the a1-c2 third – is an arbitrary revision of GE2.
