b. 18

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

The 2nd and 3rd crotchet in A

FE (→EE1EE2)

The version of FE with a cautionary

..

The versions of A (→GE) only differ in the presence or absence of a  before c1. The version of FE (→EE1EE2) results from Chopin's correction; we adopt it - supplemented with a cautionary  before e flat1 - for our main text.  EE3 returned to the version of GE1 (with only the graphic layout modified).

b. 18-19

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

..

A bears traces of corrections of the L.H. part in those bars. One can be almost certain that originally bar 18 began with the crotchet , other changes - on the 2nd beat of bar 18 and at the beginning of bar 19 - are more difficult to decipher.

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

..

In A (→GE1), cautionary flats are entered before the octave g flat2-g flat3. In FE (→EE) they were removed, and the flats added before the octave a flat2-a flat3. Such a notation coincides with our editorial assumptions. In GE2 (→GE3) flats were also added before a flat2-a flat3, yet the accidental before g flat2-g flat3 were not removed.

We simplify the notation of the 1st note of the bar preserving all the elements that are significant for its meaning. The adopted solution was many times employed by Chopin in similar situations, e.g. in bars 36 and 98. The erasure visible in A makes us guess that the notation of the manuscript resulted from the correction of the version with the minim f1 in the lower voice.
