b. 1

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

No dedication in FC (→GE)

Dedication in FE (→EE)
..

The absence of the dedication in FC (→GE) suggests that the decision concerning a dedication came relatively late in the publishing process of the Mazurkas. See the Mazurka in C minor no. 1.

b. 9-10

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

No sign in FC (→GE)

in FE (→EE)
..

The  hairpin, unless overlooked by the copyist, was added by Chopin in the stage of proofreading FE or to the basis of FE. One can assume that while correcting FC Chopin simply overlooked this place – cf. analogous bars 79-80.

b. 9-24

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

11 staccato dots in FC

13 dots in FE (→EE)

11 dots in GE1

14 dots in GE2

16 dots suggested by the editors
..

Staccato dots under (over) the bass notes are present in this theme both in FC and FE in the vast majority of cases (we take into account both the discussed bars and their counterparts upon the return of the theme (bars 79-94). The distribution of the bars devoid of dots is certainly accidental, hence in the main text we give them in all bars.
In GE1 and EE the versions of FC and FE, respectively, were inaccurately reproduced. In GE2 the majority of the dots missing in GE1 were added.

in FC, FE (→EE) & GE2

No marking in GE1

The absence of  in GE1 is most probably an oversight by the engraver, supplemented in GE2.
