Verbal indications

b. 57

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

in FC (→GE)

No indication in FE (→EE)
..

The absence of  in FE (→EE) could be Chopin's inadvertence (or the engraver's oversight). If this phrase (starting here) were to continue the previous dynamics ( from bar 49), the next  mark in bar 65 would be only a confirmation thereof, while the whole would be devoid of a dynamic contrast, so typical of opus 30, and particularly of this Mazurka. On the other hand, the absence of indications does not mean that one cannot play in a varied manner; it simply leaves the choice of performance details to the performer (to a greater extent). Therefore, the version without  may be considered an acceptable variant.
