Slur suggested by the editors
..

Like in analogous b. 41-42, in the main text we suggest adding slurs over the L.H. quavers. Slurs were also added in EE; however, their range differs: in b. 185 the slur runs from the semiquavers, whereas in b. 186 from the beginning of the bar.

 and the accent are subsequent indications belonging to the group of the indications added by Chopin in [AG] in the final fragment of the Mazurka – cf., e.g. b. 173-176, 177, 180-188. We present them as laid out in GE1, which was based directly on [AG].

b. 185

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

No mark in AI & GE

Staccato dot in AF (→FE→EE)
..

We do not include the staccato dot in the main text, featured in AF (→FE→EE), since the principal source (GE) contains two other indications instead, i.e.  and an accent – see the adjacent note. However, it does not have to mean that Chopin in fact considered these indications separately, since we cannot rule out an oversight in [AG] or GE. Due to this reason, according to us, the dot can be regarded as complementing the indications of GE.
