The  hairpin in bars 7 and 15 was almost certainly added to FC by Chopin. There is a similar situation in bar 18, 21 and 26 and in bars 28-30 and 43.

Slur in FE (→EE)

Slurs in FC (→GE)

Slurs suggested by the editors

..

In the main text we suggest a modified version of the slurring with which Chopin replaced in FC the slur/tie as visible in FE. We justify the extension of the slur encompassing the sequence of thirds with the fact that dragging a slur led over the thirds to d1-f1 at the beginning of bar 9 was difficult in the manuscript (due to the lack of space under the tie to g1) and presented a risk of the notation becoming overcomplicated.

Long accents in FC

Short accents in GE

..

The accent in bar 8 entered into FC is undoubtedly a long accent. Therefore, it allows us to consider the less unambiguous accent placed in a similar context in bar 16 to be long too. Both marks were almost certainly added by Chopin. In GE all accents in this Mazurka are more or less of the same length, and we reproduce them as short.

In FE the last R.H. note is a crotchet, as a result of which the bar includes 7 quavers. In the main text we correct this mistake after the FC notation (→GE); this version is also in EE.
