We simplify the notation of the 1st note of the bar preserving all the elements that are significant for its meaning. The adopted solution was many times employed by Chopin in similar situations, e.g. in bars 36 and 98. The erasure visible in A makes us guess that the notation of the manuscript resulted from the correction of the version with the minim f1 in the lower voice.

A slur over the triplet in A

No extra slur in GE (→FEEE)

..

The extra slur over the triplet in A was omitted in GE (→FEEE). In the context, that slur is just part of the triplet marking and we do not take it into consideration (cf. General Editorial Principlespoint 16).

b. 29

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

..

In A, the slur under the characteristic figure in the R.H. in this bar fails to include the last crotchet. A comparison with analogous bars 21-23 and 30-31 reveals a patent inaccuracy of the manuscript. Similar inaccuracies in less obvious situations often lead to difficulties with the interpretation  of slurs.

Wedges in A

Dots in GE (→FE)

Absence of any signs in EE

..

The staccato signs in A are definitely more like wedges than dots. Still, GE (→FE) has dots in all those places. Absence of any signs in EE is an obvious error.

 in A

 in GE (→FEEE)

..

In bars 29-31 and 44 of A, the  marks are clearly placed after the 3rd crotchet, at the end of the bar. In GE (→FEEE) they were placed under the 3rd crotchet.
