Verbal indications

b. 1

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

A (→GE2GE3)

GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The value 192 entered in the metronome marking in A raises no source-related or stylistic doubts. Vivid, oberek-like tempo corresponds with the character of the first phrase of the Mazurka (bars 1-20). The same cannot be said about the value 108 appearing in GE1 (→FEEE). As there are no traces of Chopin's intervention, the most probable explanation for the discrepancy is the accidental repetition of the metronome marking from the previous Mazurka in GE1.

..

The replacement of 4 Mazurkas with Quatre Mazurkas does not change the authentic title. However, the addition to the title in EE is definitely inauthentic; the English editor used to add the expression Souvenir de la Pologne to each consecutive opus of Chopin's Mazurkas. In EE2, the dedication was omitted.

No performance indication in EE

In GE1 (→FE), Chopin's indication dolce was abbreviated to dol., and in EE it was omitted. Moreover, in GE (→FE) that term was placed - inconsistently with the notation of A – between the staves.
