When proofing FE, Chopin changed the top note of the first chord in the L.H. from f1 to e1. This is the first change of the accompaniment in the course of this Mazurka (cf. bar 89, and also for instance bar 7 and analog. or bar 57).

b. 7-11

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

..

A bears traces of corrections made in the 1st  crotchet of the L.H. in bars 7 (erasure)  and 11 (crossing-out). In bar 11, Chopin replaced the chord f-a-dwith the third d1-f1. Traces of his intervention in bar 7, although less clear, also point to the same change. A corresponding correction was also introduced by the composer in all the analogous bars39, 43, 91 and 95.

b. 57

..

There are traces of corrections at the beginning of this bar in A. The note A flat1 was entered by Chopin instead of a deleted chord, most probably the same as the two further chords .

b. 89

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

e1 in the 2nd chord in A (→GE)

f1 in FE (→EE)

..

A has visible traces of the highest note of the 2nd chord in the L.H. having been corrected from f1 to e1. The resulting a-c1-e1 chord was reproduced in GE, and through GE it also appeared in FE, where Chopin corrected the chord again restoring the a-c1-fversion. That ultimate version, repeated in EE, can be found in our main text.
