b. 110

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

No accent mark in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

A short accent in GE2 (→GE3)

Our proposition
..

In A (→GE1→FE→EE) there is no accent on the 3rd beat of the bar, which seems to be a mistake in notation since there are accents in all the analogous bars. Therefore we suggest adding a long accent in that place. A similar thing was done in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 111

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

No accent mark in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

A short accent in GE2 (→GE3)

The editors' alternative proposition
..

In GE2 (→GE3) an accent (short) was added above a flat2 at the beginning of the bar. Such a revision may seem justified by accents in analogous bars 107 and 109. Therefore we admit the possibility of adding an accent (long) following the pattern of the above-mentioned bars.

b. 111

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

No staccato dot in A (→GE)

A dot in FE (→EE)
..

The staccato dot under the 3rd crotchet of the L.H. in FE (→EE) must be the engraver's mistake.

b. 112

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

A long accent in A (→GE1→FE)

No accent in EE

A short accent in GE2 (→GE3)

A long accent that can be seen in A (→GE1→FE) was omitted from EE and replaced with an ordinary short accent in GE2 (→GE3).
