Ornaments

b. 109

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No sign in GE

Arpeggio sign in FE (→EE)

..

In the main text we include the arpeggio present in FE2 and EE (in the copy of FE1 the page including this bar is missing). Its authenticity is highly likely – the mark is present before a chord of a similar span in an analogous place in b. 33. Cf. General Editorial Principlesp. 5a.

b. 109

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No marking in sources

Arpeggio sign suggested by the editors

..

Taking into account the probably inaccurate notation of arpeggios in similar bars (cf. b. 33 and 55, in which there are no marks in GE), we assume that it is likely that the arpeggio mark was overlooked here; hence in the main text we suggest supplementing the notation of the sources.

b. 110

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Trill without ending in FE (→EE) & GE

Trill ending suggested by editors

..

A comparison with analogous b. 34, 60 and 293 suggests that the ending of the trill could have been overlooked here (perhaps by Chopin himself). Due to the above reason, we suggest a suitable addition in the main text.

b. 139

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No slur in GE

Slur in FE (→EE)

..

Both versions are most probably authentic, hence in the main text we give the version of the principal source, FE. The slur next to the grace note may be understood as a conventional mark or as an arpeggio. Performance:  or .

b. 181

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

in GE

No mark in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion

..

The fact that the mordent is absent in FE (→EE) also in analogous b. 240 makes us approach a possible oversight of that ornament with caution. This means that both versions are most probably authentic, while determining their chronology – problematic (as usual in this Polonaise). Due to the above fact, in the main text we opt for a variant version, i.e. mordent in brackets.
