b. 100-102

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

Probable short accents in A (→GE→FE→EE)

Possible long accents in A
..

The size of the accents on the 3rd beat of bars 100 and 102 is much larger in A  than typical short accents. However, their shape is not the one typical for long accents. A comparison with earlier appearances of that phrase suggests that those accents should be considered short ones, and this is how they were interpreted in GE (→FE→EE).

b. 100-102

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

No dots in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Dots in GE2 (→GE3)
..

We consider the absence of staccato dots under the bass notes A (→GE1→FE→EE) to be Chopin's oversight. These dots were already added in GE2 (→GE3).

..

GC has the chord e2-g sharp2-a2-c sharp3 here. The error was corrected in GE. Gutmann made an identical mistake in bar 91.
