Verbal indications

b. 97-100

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

Dashes till b. 100 in FC (→GE)

Dashes till beginning of b. 97 in FE (→EE)
..

Chopin was adding the dashes marking the range of dim. to the end of bar 100; however, it is uncertain which marks are written in his hand – probably already from the third dash, which would be compliant with the notation of FE, and certainly the last 5 dashes (bars 99-100). The version of FE (→EE) may be inaccurate, since dashes are generally added to indications valid clearly longer than the word defining a given indication.

 was added to FC by Chopin. At the same time, it can be seen that he probably initially started writing , which he then turned to 'f' from . The result was a little bit clumsy, which is a possible reason why this indication was omitted by GE1 (it was added in GE2).

b. 125

poco stretto in FC (→GE)

calando in FE (→EE)
..

The differing performance markings of FC and FE were independently introduced by Chopin both in the copy and in the stage of proofreading FE (or in the basis for it) – see the note on the filiation of the Mazurkas. In the main text we give the version of the principal source (FC), but the second version may be regarded as an equal option.
