b. 115

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

No mark in FC (→GE)

Accent in FE (→EE)
..

The missing accent in FC could be an oversight by the copyist – cf. analogous bar 19. Therefore, in the main text we include the accent of FE (→EE).

b. 116

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

No sign in FC (→GE)

Arpeggio sign on 3rd beat in FE (→EE)
..

The question of whether Chopin wanted the last chord in this bar to be played as an arpeggio remains open – see analogous bar 20.

in FC

No sign in FE (→EE)

in GE

The  hairpin was added by Chopin to FC. In GE the mark was slightly shortened, adjusting it to the quintuplet beam. The hairpin of FC could be considered inaccurate, but a mark of similar range was most probably in [A] in bar 19, which seems to result from the comparison of the versions of FE and FC in that bar.

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

..

In the main text we add cautionary naturals to a1 in bars 119, 121 and 123. The first two were also added in GE on the basis of the pencil additions to FC by the reviser of that edition.
