b. 5

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Wedge in Afrag

Staccato dot in A1 (→FEEE) & GE

..

The wedge in Afrag is probably the original version (or simply an inaccuracy).

b. 5-6

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Slur reaching beyond bar 6 in AfragGE & contextual interpretation of A1

Slur to end of bar 6 in A1, literal reading

Slur to end of bar 5, interpretation 

Slur to minim in bar 6 in FE2 & EE

..

The slurs of Afrag and GE are unequivocal; since such a slur is featured in all analogous bars in GE, we give it – as present in [A2] – in the main text. The slur of FE is clearly erroneous, which was corrected in FE2 and EE, most probably on the basis of comparison with b. 1-2. The slur of A1 is problematic; just like the remaining slurs in the 1st line of the manuscript, it reaches the end of the bar, yet its shape suggests that it is supposed to be led to the beginning of the next bar. It is explicitly confirmed by the fact of ending the slur in b. 11 (on a new line) as well as by the unequivocal slur in b. 25-27, corrected by Chopin. In such a context, we interpret the slur of A1 as reaching the 1st quaver in b. 7.

b. 5-6

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

Most accidentals before quavers are written lower than the corresponding noteheads. In this case it poses obviously no risk of a misunderstanding.

b. 5

composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione

No slurs in A1, CK & EL

Slurs in CJ & CB

..

The fact that the slurs are featured in CJ only makes us think that they could have been added by Chopin, who might have had the opportunity to go over this copy. However, it is an assumption only that actually does not influence the evaluation of authenticity of these slurs in any way.
The slurs in CB must be an arbitrary addition of the writer, who provided the L.H. part with slurs in the entire piece.

composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione

No grace notes in A1

Grace notes in CJ, CK (→CB) & EL

According to us, the fact that the ending of the trill is not written out does not mean that Chopin envisioned it being performed differently while writing A1. It is rather an element that was skipped in the working notation, since Chopin regarded it as obvious.
