composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In the sources there is no  over the  mark, which is a patent inaccuracy, certainly repeated after [A].

No sign in FE (→EE)

The additional trill in GE is most probably a mistake by the engraver, who placed  a crotchet too early and either did not notice his mistake or forgot to remove the wrong mark. Anyways, the trill was absent in [A] – this bar was not written out in the manuscripts, but marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 60, in which there is no trace of that trill. Moreover, there is no convincing evidence of Chopin proofreading GE1. Nevertheless, we have to admit that such a diversification of the last appearance of a repeated phrase would fit into the Chopinesque style.

We follow GE in the main text, as in bars 43, 69 & 276.

In GE the trill is written down without a wavy line after the  mark. In the main text we give the more suggestive version of FE (→EE).

Unlike in previous analogous bars, in this case the wavy lines following the  marks are also absent in FE, which must be an oversight. In the main text we add wavy lines, as was already done in EE.
