Slurs

b. 45-46

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

A slur in A (→GE) & EE

A shorter slur in FE
..

In A (→GE), the slur reaches the crotchet on the 2nd beat of bar 46. In FE it ends on the preceding semiquaver, which is probably the engraver's fault. The longer slur of EE, corresponding with A, most probably results from the correction of the editor, who partly standardized the slurs in similar phrases.

b. 49-50

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

A slur in A, EE and GE2 (→GE3)

A shorter slur in GE1 (→FE)
..

Against the notation of A, in GE1 (→FE) the slur mistakenly ends on the semiquaver. The correct version was restored in  EE and GE2 (→GE3).

b. 52

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.
