b. 2

composition: WN 55, Waltz in F minor

 
 
..

The short accent is only in FEF and GEF - it must be Fontana's revision.

b. 2

composition: Op. 24 No. 1, Mazurka in G minor

A dot in  A (→GE)

Absence of any sign in FE (→EE)
..

The absence of a staccato dot in FE (→EE) is probably due to oversight on the part of the engraver.

No mark in AI

 in A (→GE→FE→EE)

Our suggestion
..

A (→GE→FE→EE) has a mark here. In the main text we propose reading it as a long accent for f2, guided first of all by the analogy with bar 26 in A. In AI there is no mark at all.

b. 2

composition: Op. 24 No. 3, Mazurka in A♭ major

 in AI and A

GE (→FE→EE)
..

In bar 2 in GE1 (FE→EE) the pedal release mark  is placed under the third crotchet of the bar. Attempts were made in GE2 to correct that error, but the outcome is inaccurate. In our main text we rely on AI (→A). Similarly in bars 10 and 11.

AI

A and #Wn2

GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

AI has a dotted rhythm on the 1st beat, and no grace note before a crotchet f2 on the 2nd beat. In the main text we give the undoubtedly ultimate version of A (→GE→FE→EE).

In GE1 (→FE→EE) the slur accompanying the grace note begins too early from the quaver a1. This imprecision was corrected in GE2.
