No dynamic marking in A (→GE-FE→EE1)

 in EE2 (→EE3)
..

A (→GE→FE→EE1) do not have any dynamic markings in that bar. In EE2 (→EE3) a  was arbitrarily added,  which is perhaps connected with the beginning of a new part on a new page (cf. revisions of that editor in the Nocturne in D flat major Op. 27 no. 2, bars 26 and 31).

A wedge in A

A dot in GE (→FE)

No sign in EE
..

An evident wedge in A was reproduced in GE (→FE) as a dot (in GE, wedges were not used even once throughout the Mazurkas Op. 24). In EE, the sign was omitted.

b. 97

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

No indication in A (→GE→FE→EE1→EE2)

in EE3
..

EE3 has più added in bar 97, probably by analogy to bars 13 and 45. In our opinion, the absence of that indication cannot be considered Chopin's oversight in this particular case, especially that  A  has visible traces of removal of an element of notation there; therefore we do not include the addition of EE3 in our main text.
