No articulation marks in A (→GE1FEEE)

Staccato dots in GE2 (→GE3)

..

Lack of staccato dots in A (→GE1FEEE) is, in our opinion, the result of Chopin's oversight. When we compare the accompaniment in five analogous places (bars 13-17 & analog.) we are convinced that the dots were omitted by mistake.

b. 42-43

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

A long accent in bar 42 in A

An accent in bar 43 in GE1 (→FE)

No accent mark in EE

A short accent in GE2 (→GE3)

..

An accent under the syncopated octave f2-f3 in bar 42, longer than usual here in A, was printed at the beginning of bar 43 in GE1 (→FE). In EE the accent was omitted altogether, which is probably an error. In GE2 (→GE3) the accent returned to its proper place, but in the form of an ordinary short accent instead of a long one.

The editors' proposition

..

In the editors' opinion, the absence of an accent - a long one, as in bars 38 and 40 – at the beginning of bar 42 is the result of Chopin's inattention, therefore we suggest adding it. A similar revision was made in GE2 (→GE3), yet with a short accent added in both those German editions.

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