Over this entire section in A the asterisks  are placed at the very end of each bar after the 3rd crotchet of the L.H. (with the exception of bar 138) and this is definitely the only authentic notation. In GE that notation was reproduced only in bars 132-133 and 136; in the remaining bars the asterisks are placed before the 3rd crotchet. In FE only the  in bar 133 follows the notation of A, and EE has the asterisks after the 3rd crotchet in bars 132-133 only. Moreover, in EE1 (→EE2) the asterisk was mistakenly placed in bar 135 instead of 136, which was corrected in EE3.

b. 131

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

..

The term calando was placed between the staves in EE, which does not correspond to Chopin's notation in A (→GE→FE).

The accent of A interpreted in context.

 Literal reading of the accent in A (→GE→FE→EE)
..

The accent mark in A is written inaccurately: the short mark is put after the note to which it refers. In GE (→FE→EE) the accent was understood as a short one, but in this context the use of a long accent by Chopin seems more probable.

f tied in EE & GC (→GE)

No tie in FE
..

Absence of a tie sustaining f sharp in FE is most probably an error.

Arpeggio sign in A (→EE,GC→GE)

No arpeggio sign in FE
..

The lack of the arpeggio sign is most probably an oversight by the engraver of FE.
