b. 136-139

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

slentando in FC (→GE)

smorz. - - in FE (→EE)
..

Chopin entered slentando into FC (→GE). Similarly, Chopin added the smorz. - - indication present in FE (→EE) probably only just while proofreading this edition.
Therefore, both indications, of a similar meaning, can be regarded as equal variants.

b. 137

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

A short accent in A (→GE→FE→EE)

Our proposition
..

The accent that can be seen in A (→GE→FE→EE) must be considered a short one. However, if we compare that bar with bars 121, 127 and 133, in which A clearly has long accents, we begin to suspect that the accent mark may have been written by Chopin in a hasty and inaccurate manner.
