In FC one can see cautionary flats to g2 and e2, added in pencil by the reviser of GE1. These marks, which we do not consider part of the text of FC, were included in GE.

2 slurs in FC, literal reading

Continuous slur in FE (contextual interpretation→EE)

2 slurs in GE
..

The slurring of the first phrase in this section is inaccurate or erroneous both in FC and FE. It concerns particularly FC, in which, when interpreted literally, the slurs are unclear and almost certainly incomplete. The slurring of FE can be easily guessed, as a result of which a corrected version of this slurring is already present in EE; in this situation, it is the version we give in the main text.
The slur added in pencil to FC in bars 27-28 comes from the reviser of GE, who considered the absence of a slur in these bars (and actually rightly so) to be a patent mistake (in FC these bars end the page, which is often conducive to oversights).

b. 31-39

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

..

In FC there are cautionary accidentals written in crayon to the last quaver in bars 31, 35 and 39 (a  to c2 and a  to d2). They come from the reviser of GE1, hence they were included in that edition. EE also include a natural in bar 31; in the main text we give all 3 accidentals.
