Vivace was entered into FC by Chopin after crossing out Allegretto. The composer could have been considering a more pronounced indication suggesting the different nature of this Mazurka with respect to the first and fourth ones, described as Allegretto non tanto and Allegretto, respectively.

In bars 1 and 3, in the main text we omit the slurs present in FC (→GE), being part of the triplet marking – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16. They are absent in FE, although it seems unlikely that Chopin would have bothered to remove them while proofreading this edition. In subsequent bars, none of the sources includes such slurs. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Triplet slurs |
