No markings in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

In GE2 (→GE3), an accent was arbitrarily added under the 2nd crotchet of the left hand and   under the last chord.

An accent in A and GE2 (→GE3)

No accent in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Pedalling in A

Without pedalling in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Pedalling in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In GE1 (→FE→EE) there is no pedalling, which is obviously a mistake. The pedal marks were supplemented in GE2 (→GE3), with  moved to the end of the bar.

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

The supplemented slurs of A 

The slur in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The tie from bar 51 lacks an ending in the 2nd volta in A. In GE (→FE→EE) the tie for b flat1 in the 1st volta reaches that b flat1 in the 2nd volta. It is really astonishing that this nonsensical sign was not corrected in any of the first editions, even in the meticulously revised GE2 and GE3.
