b. 6-7

 to bar 7 in A

 in bar 6 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The change of the range of the  sign is certainly an inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE). In A one can see that Chopin deleted the hairpin written over the part of the R.H., having the same range as in the editions. The new sign was written under the group of demisemiquavers introducing the theme and led further on, to the e3 minim.

b. 7-11

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major

..

A bears traces of corrections made in the 1st  crotchet of the L.H. in bars 7 (erasure)  and 11 (crossing-out). In bar 11, Chopin replaced the chord f-a-d1 with the third d1-f1. Traces of his intervention in bar 7, although less clear, also point to the same change. A corresponding correction was also introduced by the composer in all the analogous bars: 39, 43, 91 and 95.
