b. 8-10

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

No staccato sign in A (→GE1FEEE)

A dot in GE2 (→GE3)

The editors' suggestion

 

..

In bars 8 and 10 in A (→GE1FEEE), staccato signs over the crotchet on the 2nd beat are missing. Clear wedges in analogous bars 12, 44, 90, 94 and 96, and also evident staccato signs in bars 6 and 92, point to Chopin's probable oversight. In GE2 (→GE3), the staccato signs were added in both bars, in the form of dots.

b. 8

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

A possible reading of the slur in A (→GEFEEE)

The slur of A interpreted in context

..

In A, the extent of the slur is not quite clear. The interpretation adopted in GE (→FEEE) is possible, yet in our opinion a longer slur, reaching the crotchet on the 2nd beat of the bar, is much more likely.

b. 8-12

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

No slur in A (→GE1FEEE)

A tiny slur in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In GE2 (→GE3), small slurs were arbitrarily added in bars 8, 10 and 12 connecting grace notes with the crotchets that follow them. We omit those conventional signs from the main text.

b. 10

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

Slur end in A (→GE1FEEE)

Slur end in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In GE2 (→GE3), the end of the slur was moved to the 2nd quaver d2, probably as a result of comparing that place with the notation of GE1 found in most analogous bars. Cf. the note concerning bar 6.

..

The wedge above the crotchet b1 appears only in A; GE2 (→GE3) have a dot added instead.
