The replacement of 4 Mazurkas with Quatre Mazurkas does not change the authentic title. However, the addition to the title in EE is definitely inauthentic; the English editor used to add the expression Souvenir de la Pologne to each consecutive opus of Chopin's Mazurkas. In EE2, the dedication was omitted.

Chopin wrote into A a mark  at the end of the bar, clearly after the 3rd L.H. crotchet. In GE1 (→FE→EE) the mark was placed under the 3rd crotchet. The notation in GE2 is unclear: the asterisk is to be found below the last chord, but shifted perceptibly to the right which may be regarded an attempt to better fit the script of A.

AI has no pedal markings becuse of the different L.H. part version.

The rhythm in AI

The rhythm in A (→GE→FE→EE)
..

In A (→GE→FE→EE) Chopin changed the R.H. rhythm in comparison to the AI version. Scrapings visible in A show that Chopin considered even a double dotted rhythm: the last d2 was written as a semiquaver following a crotchet with two dots.

AI also has a different version in the L.H.

..

At the beginning of the bar in A one can see a deleted  before e1. The need to put that sign could, in our opinion, result from the uninterrupted transition in writing - perhaps also performing - from the Mazurka in G minor  to the Mazurka in C major.
