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

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 (→FE→EE). 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. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Metronome tempos |
