b. 215

Staccato dots in GE

No marks in FE (→EE)

As in bars 210-214, we adopt more precise notation of GE in the main text.

b. 216-218

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No marks in sources

Staccato dots suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we add staccato dots to the L.H. crotchets, in accordance with the markings of GE in the preceding bars, and in the case of the 1st crotchet in b. 218 also in accordance with b. 139. The markings could have been overlooked by accident, since these bars open a new line in GE, which is conducive to such inaccuracies.

b. 240

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Staccato dot in GE1

No mark in FE (→EE) & GE2
..

In the main text we include the staccato dot printed in GE after [A]. The mark was probably overlooked by the engraver of FE (→EE) or earlier, in the manuscript basis for that edition. The absence of the dot in GE2 is certainly the fault of the engraver of that edition.
There is a similar situation two bars later.

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Staccato dots in GE

Chopin could have entered staccato dots in b. 252 and 260 into [A] after Fontana had finished [FC].
