The version of FE (→EE) must be erroneous (a typical Terzverschreibung), which is confirmed by the correction in FED, most probably coming from Chopin.

b. 54-62

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

No slurs in b. 57 & 62 in FC

No slurs in b. 54 & 56-57 in FE

No slur in b. 57 in EE

No slur in b. 62 in GE

All slurs complemented by the editors
..

In bars 54, 56-57 and 62 particular sources do not include some of the slurs linking the semiquaver to the chord. A comparison of the versions suggests that both in FC and FE at least one slur present in [A] was left out. On the other hand, both in EE and GE the texts of the bases were revised by adding slurs, yet none of them did it consistently.

FE (→EE) feature here an f1-g1 second, twice (as in the previous bar). The mistake was corrected in FED, perhaps by Chopin.

b. 105-106

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

d tied in FC (→GE)

d repeated in FE (→EE)
..

As in bars 9-10, the missing tie to d is most probably a mistake by FE (→EE).

b. 113-115

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

..

In FE (→EE) there are no arpeggios, which is a patent mistake, as is the absence of one of them in FC (at the beginning of bar 114). The defect of the copy was corrected in GE.
