Pitch

b. 70

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Lower R.H. voice in GE1 & FE (→EE)

No lower voice in GE2
..

The GE2 version, without the lower R.H. voice on the first beat, is a side effect of this voice having been moved to the upper staff in this bar.

b. 71

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

GE has no cautionary  to e1.

b. 72

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Grace notes A-B in GE & EE2

Grace notes A-B in FE (→EE1)
..

The version of FE (→EE1) almost certainly results from an oversight of the copyist or of the engraver of FE. The mistake was corrected in EE2, probably on the basis of a comparison with analogous b. 46, 279 and 305.

b. 74

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Chord without b1 in GE & FE (→EE1)

Chord with b1 in EE2
..

The chord with b1 in EE2 (→EE3) is an arbitrary revision, which most probably resulted from a comparison with b. 48 and 281, in which the first chord contains that note in all sources (probably by mistake).

b. 75-76

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Without d in L.H. in GE

3 d in LH. in FE (→EE)
..

As was the case with b. 23-24 and analogous, in the main text we follow FE, proofread by Chopin, in which he added three d notes in the L.H. part: on the 1st and 3rd beats of b. 75 and on the first beat of b. 76.
