Rhythm
b. 48-52

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major
..
In bars 48 and 52 in EE, the R.H. part is split into two voices, just like in the previous bars: . We retain the notation of A (→GE→FE), apparently inconsistent but reflecting the pragmatism of Chopin's pianistic thinking. An identical change of the graphical layout was also introduced in analogous bars 16, 20 and 100 of EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

b. 59-71

In bars 59, 63, 67 (R.H.) and 71 (L.H.) in A there are traces of deleting the dot extending the crotchet on the 2nd beat of the bar and the quaver flag at the last note of the bar. However, the spatial arrangement of those notes within the bar shows that the initial version of the rhythm was just like the final version – 2 quavers and 2 crotchets. It seems that in the course of his work on A Chopin twice changed his mind about the rhythm in those bars: category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Chopin's hesitations , Main-line changes |

There are deletions in bars 113-114 and 117-118 visible in A. Chopin was shortening the rhythmic value of the chords on the 2nd beat of those bars from the minim to the crotchet. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A |
