The 2nd and 3rd crotchet in A

FE (→EE1EE2)

The version of FE with a cautionary

..

The versions of A (→GE) only differ in the presence or absence of a  before c1. The version of FE (→EE1EE2) results from Chopin's correction; we adopt it - supplemented with a cautionary  before e flat1 - for our main text.  EE3 returned to the version of GE1 (with only the graphic layout modified).

b. 18-19

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

..

A bears traces of corrections of the L.H. part in those bars. One can be almost certain that originally bar 18 began with the crotchet , other changes - on the 2nd beat of bar 18 and at the beginning of bar 19 - are more difficult to decipher.

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.

A triad in A (→GE)

A  four-note chord in  FE (→EE)

..

As the 2nd crotchet A (→GE) has the chord e flat-g flat-c1, as in the previous bar. In the proofing of FE (→EE) Chopin added the note A flat and the arpeggio wavy line.
