b. 64

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

Sixths in A (→GE)

A chord in GE (→EE)
..

Initially, the 2rd and the 3rd crotchet were e flat-a flat-c1 triads in A. Then Chopin erased both a flat notes and this was the version that appeared in GE. The note a flat reappears in FE (→EE), but only on the 2nd beat. This is probably the result of Chopin's correction in FE.

b. 65

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

An accent in A (→GE2→GE3)

No accent mark in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The omission of the accent from GE1 (→FE→EE) was probably accidental. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

 in A (→GE), EE3

No dynamic indication in FE (→EE1→EE2)
..

The omission of  from FE (→EE1→EE2) is an obvious oversight, corrected in EE3.

b. 66-67

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

The slur in  A

The slur in  GE (→FE→EE)
..

The initial section of the slur in bar 67 (the bar that opens a new page in A) may suggest that the slur is continued from the previous page, but no slur begins in bar 66. Nonetheless, in GE (→FE→EE) the slur is drawn from f2 in bar 66. Fortunately, this inaccuracy in reading A proved consistent with Chopin's later corrections of analogous slurs in bars 58-59 and 62-63.

b. 69

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

The 2nd crotchet has the staccato articulation in A (→GE2→GE3) and EE

No staccato sign in GE1 (→FE)
..

The staccato dot is missing in GE1 (→FE), which is certainly  an error. The dot was added again in EE and GE2 (→GE3).
