In the FE of the Mazurkas Op. 24 no impressions differing in the musical text have been detected. Still, we need to mention that no copy has been found of the album containing, among other pieces, Chopin's Opus 24 published in December 1835 (we know about the existence of that album from a press announcement). The earliest known copies of FE1, including the one presented here, date back to January 1836 and bear traces of corrections made in print. Therefore it is not unlikely that the version in the album did not have all those changes. There are copies with different covers or printed with a different printing technique.
FE1 is based on a proof copy of GE1 to which Chopin, as was typical of him, introduced a number of changes. Major ones include: change of the 2nd and 3rd crotchet in the L.H. in bar 18 and reinforcing the L.H. part in bars 92-93, as well as supplemented pedalling in bar 19, staccato dots in bars 91-93, or 
in bar 143.
The presented copy has a hand-written dedication à Mlle Marie Wodżyńska. FFChopin attached to the cover with glue. It was purchased in 1953 from Teresa Orpiszewska, grand-daughter of Maria Wodzińska.
