We give the agogic indication as contained in A, we also reproduce the text layout in relation to the notes. GE has a stretto instead of e stretto, which changes the sense of this indication to a certain degree; also, it is placed earlier, at the beginning of bar 45. In FE (→EE) the error of GE was corrected and the inscription moved back to its original place as in A. This is probably Chopin's correction. In EE and GE2, greater care was taken to ensure a more uniform arrangement of particular words in relation to the musical text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

In bars 45 and 49 in GE2 (→GE3) small slurs were arbitrarily added to link grace notes with their main notes. Chopin did sometimes use such slurs in his notation (e.g. in Mazurka in C no. 2, bar 6), but more often than not he omitted those purely conventional signs. The revision was made for the entire Mazurka. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In A (→GE), the slur reaches the crotchet on the 2nd beat of bar 46. In FE it ends on the preceding semiquaver, which is probably the engraver's fault. The longer slur of EE, corresponding with A, most probably results from the correction of the editor, who partly standardized the slurs in similar phrases. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE |

The accents at the beginning of bars 46 and 48 should in A be considered short ones and this is how they were reproduced in GE. FE has long accents, although this does not seem to be the result of the correction in print. The version with long accents could be acceptable for Chopin, as in most analogous bars A has long accents. EE has short accents, which follows from inaccurately reproducing the text of FE. The conformity of that version with the authentic text of A is a fortunate coincidence. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , EE inaccuracies |
