  b. 1

A (→GE2→GE3)

GE1 (→FE→EE)

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.
