b. 7-8

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

End of the slur in A (→GE1)

Without a slur in FE (→EE)

A shortened slur in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The slur in those bars is evident in A (→GE1) and provokes no stylistic doubts. The change made in GE2 (→GE3) by analogy with bars 5-6 and 9-10, where the notation of A is not that clear, misses - in our opinion - Chopin's intention. The absence of the slur in FE (→EE) is doubtless a mistake.

b. 7-11

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major

..

A bears traces of corrections made in the 1st  crotchet of the L.H. in bars 7 (erasure)  and 11 (crossing-out). In bar 11, Chopin replaced the chord f-a-d1 with the third d1-f1. Traces of his intervention in bar 7, although less clear, also point to the same change. A corresponding correction was also introduced by the composer in all the analogous bars: 39, 43, 91 and 95.
