b. 117-118

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

A probable reading of the slur of A

A possible interpretation of the slur of A

The slur in GE (→FEEE)

..

In the main text we give the most probable reading of the slur in A. In GE (→FEEE) the slur was stretched to embrace full beats.

b. 118

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

A slur in A (→GE1FEEE)

No slur in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In GE2 (→GE3) the slur embracing the two quavers was removed. That revision could seem in place when the slur from bar 117 reached the second one of the two quavers. However, in our main text we retain Chopin's slurring from A.

The accent type that Chopin had in mind here is unclear. Judging from its size, the accent mark in A resembles a short accent; still, most short accents on that page of A are even smaller  (e.g. in bars 116, 118, 120, 124). On the other hand, the shape is typical for long accents. GE (→FEEE) all have short accents.

b. 120-122

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

Long accents in A (→GEFE)

Short accents in EE

..

In EE, no account was taken of the difference between the accents from bars 120 and 122 visible in A (→GEFE). The accent in bar 122 in GE1 differs very slightly from the neighbouring short accents, yet this small difference was enough to have its type correctly recognized in FE.

b. 120-146

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

No grace note slurs in A (→GE1FEEE)

Grace note slurs in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In GE2 (→GE3), conventional slurs were arbitrarily added connecting grace notes to their main notes.
