composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

In FE (→GE), there is no  restoring g2 on the 8th semiquaver and no  restoring b2 on the 15th semiquaver. Both manifest mistakes were corrected in EE.

b. 258

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we omit the  before f1 in the last L.H. chord, unnecessarily repeated in FE (→GE). In EE this accidental is absent due to the layout – the 2nd half of the bar is printed in a new line, as a result of which all three accidentals from the beginning of the bar were repeated before the 3rd chord.

5 cautionary accidentals suggested by editors
..

In the entire three-bar chromatic sequence, in the main text we suggest a few cautionary accidentals in the R.H. part –  of g in b. 261,  of a1 in b. 262 and  of e1 and  of f1, g1 in b. 263. In turn, we omit the flats before b1 and b in b. 262 present in the sources.
