b. 36-37

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

Sustained e flat1 in A and GE2 (→GE3)

Without the e flat1 crotchet in GE1

Unclear slur in FE

A phrase mark in EE
..

In A, the double-dotted quaver e1 on the 3rd beat of the bar is prolonged to the crotchet value and tied to e1 in the subsequent bar. The omission of the additional crotchet stem for that note in GE1 made it considerably harder to read that fragment properly. The notations of FE and EE further deform Chopin's notation: the tie for e1 is interpreted as a phrase mark linking the demisemiquaver d2 with the struck e​​​​​​​1 in bar 37.

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

..

The indication a tempo is written at the beginning of the bar in A. In GE1 (→FE) it is placed over the 2nd beat of the bar, which introduces the suggestion of a delay in the return to the tempo, unintended by Chopin. In EE that indication was placed between the staves.
