b. 46

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major

A dot in A (→GE1→FE) and EE3

No staccato sign in EE1 (→EE2), GE2 (→GE3)
..

The lack of the staccato sign in EE1 (→EE2) is certainly an error. The same inaccuracy in GE2 (→GE3) is puzzling, yet an accidental omission is also a plausible explanation here as well. The dot in EE3 was added on the basis of GE1, as the reviewer of  EE3 definitely availed himself of that German edition.

b. 47

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major

No markings in A (→GE→FE→EE1→EE2)

An accent and a dot in EE3
..

An accent and a staccato dot were added in EE3 on the 2nd beat of bar 47. Both signs are inauthentic, and although the addition of the accent may be explained by the analogy with bar 15, the dot is a completely arbitrary addition made by the reviewer of EE3.

b. 47-48

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major

The note g is not tied in A (→GE)

A tie sustaining g in FE (→EE)
..

In A (→GE) the note g is not sustained, and neither is it in five analogous places (bars 15-16, 19-20, 51-52, 99-100 and 103-104). The tie appearing in FE (→EE) may result from Chopin's correction. However, the fact that no similar ties can be found in any of the remaining analogous places makes us also consider other possible explanations. In our opinion, the engraver's error is a probable option.

 A staccato dot in A (→GE→FE) and EE3

No dot in EE1 (→EE2)
..

Missing in EE1 (→EE2) is the staccato dot over the 2nd crotchet of the R.H. The error was corrected in EE3.
