b. 7-15

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

..

In the main text we add cautionary accidentals – naturals to a1 in bars 7 and 15 and to b1 in bar 13. In FC they were already added by the reviser of GE, who also added a  to a2 in bar 9.

b. 7-8

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

No fingering in As & EEW

Fingering in FE (→GE)

Fingering written into FES
..

The absence of fingering in EEW must be an oversight. In the main text we give both the fingering printed in FE (→GE) and the preceding pencil addition in FES – the 4th finger on a1, which almost certainly comes from Chopin.

b. 7

composition: Op. 30 No. 2, Mazurka in B minor

 after 3rd beat in sources

 on 3rd beat suggested by the editors
..

The  asterisk having been added after the 3rd crotchet must be an inaccuracy of the pedalling of [A], perhaps added in haste. There are no musical reasons for mixing harmonies in this place. See also bars 17-18 and 20-22.

b. 7

composition: Op. 63 No. 1, Mazurka in B major

Slur in AI

No slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In the main text, after a comparison with similar bar 75, we insert a slur after AI. The absence of the slur in FE (→GE,→EE) is probably an oversight, perhaps present already in [A].

b. 7

composition: Op. 63 No. 1, Mazurka in B major

 over d2 in AI & GE3

 under b in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)
..

As in bar 5, the  having been placed under b resulted from a routine revision of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2). The misleading notation was corrected only just in GE3.
