b. 100-104

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

Without a slur in A# (→GE→FE→EE1→EE2)

A slur in EE3
..

The slur added in EE3, probably modelled on the one added in EE in bars 16-17, is definitely inauthentic.

b. 102-104

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

A (wedge)

GE (dot)

FE (→EE), contextual interpretation
..

In bars 102-103, the sources have two different versions of the R.H. part. In A (→GE) the text almost entirely follows the version found in analogous bars 18-19 and 50-51, the only difference being the presence of the staccato sign on the 2nd beat of bar 103 – a wedge in A, a dot in GE. When correcting FE (→EE), Chopin varied the last repetition of that phrase filling both bars with uniform quaver movement. Cf. bar 98.

b. 103-104

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

No slur in A (→GE→FE→EE1→EE2)

A slur in  EE3
..

The slur added in EE3 was modelled on authentic slurs from bars 15-16 and analogous bars. However, we do not include that slur, as Chopin actually marked the last appearance of the main theme of the Mazurka by that slight difference.

b. 104

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

A wedge in A

A dot in GE1 (FE→EE)

An additional dot in the L.H. in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Chopin's wedge from A was rendered in GE1 as a dot, which was repeated by FE (→EE). Moreover,  GE2 (→GE3) have another dot in the L.H. We base our main text on A.

b. 104

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

 An accent in A (→GE)

No accent in FE (→EE)
..

The accent that falls on the 3rd beat in A (→GE) was omitted from FE (→EE), probably accidentally left out by the engraver.
