b. 57

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

No sign in FC (→GE)

in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion
..

In the main text we include the  hairpin present only in FE (→EE) in a variant form, since it is absent in the principal source, yet its authenticity is unquestionable; it can be considered a complement to the  indication.

b. 59

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

No mark in FC (→GE)

Staccato dot in FE (→EE)
..

The easiest explanation for the missing staccato dot in FC (→GE) would be an oversight by the copyist – in the entire Mazurka a staccato mark on the 1st quaver in the bar is present in the vast majority of similar figures, thus constituting an element defining the Mazurka characteristic dance gesture.

Staccato dot in FC (→GE)

No mark in FE (→EE)

The easiest explanation for the missing staccato dot in FE (→EE) would be an oversight by the engraver – in the entire Mazurka a staccato mark on the 1st quaver in the bar appears in the vast majority of similar figures, constituting an element defining the characteristic dance gesture of the Mazurka.

No mark in sources

Staccato dot suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding a staccato dot at the beginning of the bar. In the three remaining places the quaver sixths, followed by a semiquaver rest, are provided with dots in at least one authentic source (FC and FE), which allows us to consider the absence of a dot in the discussed bar to be an oversight.

No mark in FC (→GE)

Accent in FE (→EE)
..

The accent could have been overlooked by the copyist or added in the stage of proofreading FE.
