b. 24

composition: Op. 30 No. 2, Mazurka in B minor

Slur to f2 in FC (→GE)

Slur to 2nd beat in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we give a slur with a 'tenuto' ending, present in FE (→EE). The shorter slur of FC must be inaccurate here, which is proven by the longer slurs of the copy in all analogous situations (bars 32, 56 and 64).
See also bar 32.

b. 32

composition: Op. 30 No. 2, Mazurka in B minor

Slur to 2nd beat in FC (→GE1)

Slur to f2 in FE (→EE) & GE2
..

In the main text we give the longer slur of FC (→GE1). This place appears in the authentic sources – FC and FE – 7 times (bars 24, 32, 56 and 64; in bar 64 only in FC), 5 of which have a slur with such an ending.
The version of GE2 is an editorial revision, making this place look like the version of FC in bar 24. A similar situation is to be seen in bars 56 and 64.
