Grace notes A-B and A-B in EE1 |
Out of the three source versions of the double grace notes present both before the 3rd trill and after it, it is only one that is correct – A-B before and A-B after. It results from a comparison of this bar with four repetitions thereof in b. 46, 72, 279 and 305:
- this is the only version appearing – in b. 46 – in both editions based directly on the manuscripts, hence GE1 and FE1;
- in GE1 this version is in all those places;
- no musical reasons support the introduction of different versions of such details in the course of the Polonaise;
- the different versions of FE can be explained by mistakes of the copyist or of the engraver.
In the discussed bar the missing in GE2 is an oversight of the engraver, while the instead of a in EE1 – most probably a mistake, rectified in EE2.
