b. 85-86

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

..

Missing in A are the sharps raising f to f sharp. That obvious mistake was corrected in GE (→FE→EE).

b. 88

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

In A (→GE1→FE→EE) there is no  raising b flat to b. This obvious mistake made by Chopin was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

..

The notation of A (→GE1→FE→EE) does not contain cautionary accidentals. We add flats before G flat and e flat in the L.H. In GE2 (→GE3), flats were also added in the R.H.

b. 92

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

A flat in A (→GE)

A flat1-A flat in FE (→EE )

The editors' proposition
..

As the 1st crotchet A (→GE) has just A flat, as in the previous bar. Chopin added A flat1 in the proofing of FE (→EE). At the same time the staccato sign, independent of the right hand, was omitted, which definitely was not Chopin's intention. In our main text we give both the added note and the omitted dot. Cf. bars 92 and 93.
