Verbal indications

b. 66

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

 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. 70-72

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

over the R.H. in A (→GE1→FE)

in EE

under the R.H. in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The change of piano to  in EE had practically no impact on the sense of that indication; meanwhile, moving it in between the staves in GE2 (→GE3) may suggest that it applies to the L.H. as well, which is definitely not what Chopin intended.

b. 86-87

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

The musical term in A

The position of the term altered in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The beginning of poco ritenuto in A falls more or less above the 3rd crotchet of bar 86. In GE (→FE→EE) that indication was placed earlier, at the beginning of the bar, which certainly does not agree with Chopin's intention.

b. 89

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

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).

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.
