b. 67

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No accidental (d) in GE

(d) in FE (→EE)
..

According to us, the version with d resulted from Chopin having overlooked the in [A] (→GE). Therefore, in the main text we include the present in FE (→EE) and added presumably by Chopin while proofreading FE1.

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

Due to the lowermost ledger line having been overlooked, the bottom note of the L.H. crotchet looks like G1 in FE1. The mistake was corrected both in FE2 and EE.

b. 70

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Quavers e-b in GE & FE (→EE1)

Quavers c-e-b in EE2
..

In the 4 quaver chords, we add here c notes in accordance with the changes Chopin introduced while proofreading FE (→EE1) in all analogous places – b. 18, 44, 277 and 303. The missing notes in the discussed bar must be considered a mistake in this context (quite typical of Chopin – cf. numerous examples tagged relevantly). The notes were also added in EE2, most probably on the basis of a comparison with analogous bars.
