b. 52-53

composition: Op. 24 No. 1, Mazurka in G minor

The slur of A (conventional notation) and GE2 (→GE3)

The slur of A (Chopin's notation)

The slur of GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The slurs linking b1 with a1 in bars 52-53 and 60-61 have in A the form of a short slur reaching the quaver a1 (see the note for bars 4-13). In bars 52-53, the slur notation is additionally unclear in A as the slur is only present in bar  53 (new page). This must have confused the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE), who evidently misinterpreted Chopin's slur.

b. 53-54

composition: Op. 24 No. 1, Mazurka in G minor

One slur in A, EE and GE2 (→GE3)

Two slurs in GE1 (→FE)

..

One of the two slurs embracing the same motif in GE1 (→FE) is definitely redundant. The extra slur (the upper one) was removed both from GE2 (→GE3) and from EE.

b. 54-56

composition: Op. 24 No. 1, Mazurka in G minor

..

In A, the end of the slur was drawn inaccurately  – . Leading the slur to the grace note is inadmissible in this context. If one were to take into account the extent of the L.H. slur, one could conclude that the R.H. slur does not go beyond bar 55 either. Still, it seems more probable that what Chopin had in mind was a slur similar to that from bars 6-8. This is how his intention was understood in GE (→FEEE).
