b. 57

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

A long accent in A

A short accent in GE (→FEEE)

..

A clearly has a long accent, yet in GE (→FEEE) it was reproduced as a short one.

Slurs in A

Slurs in GE

Slurs in FE (→EE)

..

In A, the slur in bar 58 begins above the bar line, which may suggest its intended earlier beginning. This is most probably the reason why it runs from the last chord of bar 57 in GE (→FEEE). However, in the editors' opinion, in this context it is much more likely that the slur is one of those too-widely written slurs frequently found in the autograph of the Mazurkas Op. 24. Cf. bar 60.

In FE (→EE) that slur and the next one are placed under the chords.

b. 59-60

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

The slur of A (→GEFEEE) read literally

 
..

It is not clear when the slur exactly begins in A. Taken literally as it is, it begins on the 3rd beat of bar 59, and this is how it was presented in GE (→FEEE). Yet, a frequent manner of making the slurs too long in A justifies an opinion that Chopin could intend that slur to apply to bar 60 only.

Division into voices in A

GE (→FEEE)

..

Chopin not always precisely notated the divisions between the voices. However, in this situation his notation is correct and exact from the point of view of voice-leading. Its simplification in GE (→FEEE) must be therefore considered an inaccuracy.

b. 60

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

A long accent in A (→GE)

A short accent in FE (→EE)

..

The change of the accent type in FE (→EE) is doubtless inauthentic.
