The lack of the dot in GE (→FE→EE) is probably due to oversight on the part of the engraver.

A wedge in AI and A

A dot in GE (→FE→EE)

In bars 5 and 9 all the first editions have staccato dots instead of wedges clearly written in A. Such a characteristic inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE) occurs throughout the entire Mazurka.

b. 5

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

The double bar line in A (→GE2→GE3)

The single bar line in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The double bar line that can be seen in A was omitted from GE1 (→FE→EE). As no traces of correcting are visible, this is most probably a mistake. The double bar line was restored in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 5-6

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

Long accent in A & EE

Short accent in FE (→GE)
..

In A the accent in bar 5 is significantly longer than the one in bar 6 (similarly in bars 9-10). A minor difference was reproduced only in EE, which is probably a fortuitous coincidence.
