composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

No dedication in FC (→GE)

Dedication in FE (→EE)

Dedication in FE (→EE)

The absence of the dedication in FC (→GE) suggests that the decision concerning a dedication came relatively late in the publishing process of the Mazurkas. See the Mazurka in C minor no. 1.

The absence of  in GE1 is most probably an oversight by the engraver, supplemented in GE2.

The ben legato indication visible in FE (→EE) under the L.H. part is most probably a Chopinesque explanation of the vague abbreviation b. legato used in FC, which in GE – probably due to uncertainty as to its meaning – was replaced by legato. In the main text we move this indication – in the form used in FE – over the L.H. part, since it is particularly the two top voices in the chords that can be performed legato.

b. 54-55

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

Dashes to b. 55 in FC (→GE)

No dashes in b. 54-55 in FE (→EE)
..

In FE the dashes marking the range of cresc. reach only the end of the line of the text, as a result of which they are absent in bars 54-55. In the main text we give the undoubtedly correct markings of FC (→GE).
