The  asterisk under the last quaver in the bar is probably Chopin's mistake. In the next bar a  mark, entered into A also under the last quaver, was later crossed out and put under the 3rd quaver, as it is in all the remaining bars of this progression (b. 33-35 and 38).
According to us, Chopin probably wanted to introduce longer pedals for them to correspond with the advancing crescendo; however, he eventually gave up this idea and left the mark in the discussed bar by inadvertence.

In the main text we suggest f1 on the basis of Chopin's possible correction in analogous bar 7.

 The slur of A (→GE→FE→EE)

The editors' suggestion
..

We extend the slur that in A (→GE→FE→EE) begins only in bar 45; in doing so, we follow Chopin's correction of the slur in similar bars in 36-37 in FE.

b. 45-55

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

..

In b. 45, 47, 48 and 53-55, there are visible traces of corrections of the chords on the 2nd or 3rd beat of the bar in AI. In each case Chopin removed one note from the originally written f-b-d1 triad – b in b. 45, 47, 53 and 55 and d1 in b. 48 and 54.

a in CJ, CK (→CB) & EL
..

The version of A1 must be earlier; taking into account the correction introduced in this autograph in analogous b. 5, one can assume that Chopin left it here by inadvertence. Anyway, [A2] must have included a here.
