A minim in A (→GE)

A dotted minim in FE (→EE)

..

In FE (→EE) the upper voice minims at the beginning of bars 6 and 8 are furnished with dots extending their rhythmic values. This contradicts the notation of A (→GE). The error could have resulted from reading the staccato dot on the 2bnd beat as the extending dot for the minim.

End of the slur in A (→GE1)

Without a slur in FE (→EE)

A shortened slur in GE2 (→GE3)

..

The slur in those bars is evident in A (→GE1) and provokes no stylistic doubts. The change made in GE2 (→GE3) by analogy with bars 5-6 and 9-10, where the notation of A is not that clear, misses - in our opinion - Chopin's intention. The absence of the slur in FE (→EE) is doubtless a mistake.

An accent in  A (→GE)

No accent in FE (→EE)

..

The lack of an accent in FE (→EE) is most probably due to oversight.

a1 in A (→GE) and EE3

c2 in FE (→EE1EE2)

..

The version of FE (→EE1EE2), in which the first one of the basic motifs of the Mazurka was distorted, is certainly wrong. The corrections in EE3 were most probably made on the basis of GE1.

Pedalling in A, GE2 (→GE3) and EE3

Pedalling in GE1

No pedalling in FE (→EE1EE2)

..

In the main text we give the pedalling of A and #Wn2 (→GE3). In GE1, the pedal up marking  was placed under the 3rd crotchet of the bar, against the notation of A but in line with the tendency to adjust all the elements of the notation to rhythmic structures. In FE (→EE1EE2) the pedalling was omitted. The missing pedal markings were supplemented in EE3 in the version consistent with A. Cf. bars. 22-27.
