b. 5-6

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

1  mark in FE (→EEW)

2  marks in GE
..

The separated  hairpin in GE is a revision facilitating the engraver's work. In Chopin's times, both versions of notation were often considered equivalent.

b. 41

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

Staccato dot in As, possible interpretation 

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)
..

On the available photograph of As, next to the ending of the slur combining the grace note with the d2 crotchet, there is a dot, which could be a staccato mark. We include this possibility in our reading of the text of As.

b. 42

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

 up to a1 in FE (→GE)

 up to f1 in EEW
..

The extension of the  hairpin in EEW is an arbitrary revision, probably based on the analogy with bars 2 and 10. See also bar 50.

b. 50

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

 up to c2 in FE

 up to a1 in GE1 & EEW

 up to f1 in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Similarly to bar 42, the extended  hairpins in GE2 (→GE3) and EEW result from arbitrary revisions, probably based on the analogy with bars 2 and 10 (GE) or 42 (EEW).
