The value 192 entered in the metronome marking in A raises no source-related or stylistic doubts. Vivid, oberek-like tempo corresponds with the character of the first phrase of the Mazurka (bars 1-20). The same cannot be said about the value 108 appearing in GE1 (→FE→EE). As there are no traces of Chopin's intervention, the most probable explanation for the discrepancy is the accidental repetition of the metronome marking from the previous Mazurka in GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Metronome tempos |

The replacement of 4 Mazurkas with Quatre Mazurkas does not change the authentic title. However, the addition to the title in EE is definitely inauthentic; the English editor used to add the expression Souvenir de la Pologne to each consecutive opus of Chopin's Mazurkas. In EE2, the dedication was omitted. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Dedications |

The slur in the R.H., embracing the first four bars, reaches as far as the first note of bar 5 in A. However, connecting the initial four-bar section with the following phrase is very unnatural, both pianistically (change of register and the resulting change of hand position) and musically (evident separation of phrases underlined with the double bar line in bar 5). Therefore, considering the original notation of the slur to be imprecise, we assume that it embraces bars 1-4. This is how it was interpreted in GE (→FE→EE). We come across similar situations in some other places as well, e.g. in bars 22-23 and 49-50. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |
before e1. The need to put that sign could, in our opinion, result from the uninterrupted transition in writing - perhaps also performing - from the Mazurka in G minor to the Mazurka in C major.
