For the third time (after bar 45 and 65) Chopin did not add the rit. indication. According to us, it is an oversight, hence in the main text we suggest adding this indication. A respective revision was performed already in GE2 (→GE3).

Lack of the grace note is probably a result of Chopin's oversight – both in this and the previous bars a few elements, added by Chopin in analogous bars 47 and 67, e.g., rit. and an accent, are missing. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding an ornament (in the form of non-slashed grace note) and cautionary sharps before the grace note and d3. A similar change was introduced in GE2 (→GE3).

In the main text we give the version of GE, which is almost certainly an improvement introduced by Chopin in [A2]. At the beginning of analogous b. 92, the delay was introduced – contrary to a similar procedure in b. 90-91, 94-95 and 98-99 – only just in the phase of proofreading of A1. Therefore, it can be said that the version of GE ends both the improvement and the unification processes of the harmonic course of the final section of the Mazurka. It cannot be ruled out that the absence of a corresponding correction in the discussed bar in A1 is an example of an overlooked correction of an analogous place, which is often encountered in Chopinesque sources. However, we consider the version of A1 to be an almost equal variant, since due to the absence of a corresponding correction in FE, there is no proof that Chopin considered the change in [A2] to have definitively replaced the original version.

The bottom notes of the bottom voice crotchets, written down in A, were removed in the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE), certainly by Chopin. In an analogous situation in b. 199 Chopin had already crossed out the bottom notes of the chords in A, hence the change introduced while proofreading FE may be considered rectification of an oversight of the respective correction in the stage of writing A.
