b. 61-62

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

No articulation signs in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

staccato dots in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In GE2 (→GE3), staccato dots were added for the G flat bass notes. We do not find sufficient grounds for that addition.

Pedalling in A

An additional  mark in GE1

FE (→EE)

GE2 (→GE3)
..

A has got one pedal mark for two bars. In GE1 an additional  appears in bar 62, which must have resulted from the unnecessary application of Chopin's indication to repeat the bar to the pedal mark as well. That incomplete notation was supplemented in FE (→EE) by adding  in bar 61. In GE2 (→GE3) the faulty mark from the beginning of bar 62 was removed.

b. 63

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

 in A and GE2 (→GE3)

No asterisk in GE1

 in FE (→EE)
..

In A, the asterisk  is written at the end of the bar, after the 3rd crotchet of the left hand. The mark was omitted in GE1, and in FE (→EE) placed under the 3rd crotchet. In this case it is hard to tell whether it was Chopin's correction or the editor's revision – the mark was put  where most asterisks  were placed in those editions. Cf. Mazurka in g Op. 24 no. 1, bars 49-50, 58.
