No staccato mark in A (→GE1FEEE)

 A dot in GE2 (→GE3)

..

We consider the lack of the staccato dot under the bass note to be the result of Chopin's accidental omission in A (→GE1FEEE). The dot appeared in GE2 (→GE3).

GE2 (→GE3) have a cautionary  before d flat2, probably following the example of the analogous bar 17.

The editors' proposition

..

In A (→GE1FE) there is no . The asterisk was added in EE and GE2 (→GE3) under the 3rd crotchet of the L.H. Putting the asterisk after that crotchet, suggested by the editors, reproduces Chopin's pedalling in the analogous bar 41.

b. 104

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

No staccato mark in A (→GE1FEEE)

A dot in GE2 (→GE3)

..

We add a staccato dot over the 2nd crotchet of the bar, by analogy with bar 42, in which the appropriate mark does appear, possibly added by Chopin himself. The dot was also added in GE2 (→GE3).

A long accent in A

A reversed accent mark in GE1 (→FE)

No mark in EE

A short accent in GE2

A short accent in GE3

..

The long accent written by Chopin in A was reversed in GE1 (→FE) so that it resembles small crescendo hairpins. In EE that reversed mark, difficult to understand in the context, was omitted altogether. GE2 introduced a short accent, yet assigned it to the sixth in the L.H. That latter inaccuracy was corrected in GE3
