b. 5

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A staccato dot in A

The dot missing in  GE (→FE→EE)
..

The lack of the dot in GE (→FE→EE) is probably due to oversight on the part of the engraver.

issues: Inaccuracies in GE

b. 5-9

composition: Op. 24 No. 3, Mazurka in A♭ major

A wedge in AI and A

A dot in GE (→FE→EE)
..

In bars 5 and 9 all the first editions have staccato dots instead of wedges clearly written in A. Such a characteristic inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE) occurs throughout the entire Mazurka.

 in AI

Different accents in A

Long accents in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Long accents in GE2

Chopin replaced the  written in AI with a long accent in A (→GE1→FE→EE). In GE2 the sign was replaced with diminuendo hairpins.

b. 5-6

composition: Op. 24 No. 3, Mazurka in A♭ major

Longer slur in AI

Slur in AI without a "triplet" slur

Slurs in A (→GE→FE→EE)
..

Here and in analogous bars 9-10 our main text repeats the slurring of A (→GE→FE→EE). However, in the editors' opinion it is possible that a longer slur in AI better reflects Chopin's idea of articulation and phrasing in these places. This is supported by the comparison with analogous bars 29-30 & 33-34, where A has slurs corresponding just to the notation of AI.
