b. 8

composition: WN 55, Waltz in F minor

 
 
..

In AK, the first quaver in the R.H. is written separately. Such a way of notation was certainly aimed at highlighting the ending of the music phrase and the beginning of a new one - leading to the main theme of the waltz in a new key - parallel - in bar 9.

In CC, there is no natural next to e1 - it is one of a few mistakes-oversights of the copyist in that source.

The crescendo hairpin is only in FEF and GEF. It must be Fontana's addition.

b. 8-10

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

No staccato sign in A (→GE1FEEE)

A dot in GE2 (→GE3)

The editors' suggestion

 

..

In bars 8 and 10 in A (→GE1FEEE), staccato signs over the crotchet on the 2nd beat are missing. Clear wedges in analogous bars 12, 44, 90, 94 and 96, and also evident staccato signs in bars 6 and 92, point to Chopin's probable oversight. In GE2 (→GE3), the staccato signs were added in both bars, in the form of dots.

A possible reading of the slur in A (→GEFEEE)

The slur of A interpreted in context

..

In A, the extent of the slur is not quite clear. The interpretation adopted in GE (→FEEE) is possible, yet in our opinion a longer slur, reaching the crotchet on the 2nd beat of the bar, is much more likely.
