b. 59

composition: Op. 24 No. 1, Mazurka in G minor

A probable long accent in A

A possible short accent in A (→GE→FE→EE)

Accent in FED  (possible reading)

Accent in FES (possible reading)

The editors' proposition
..

It is not certain what type of accent Chopin had in mind when writing A. Comparison with analogous bars 11 and 51 speaks in favour of a long accent. GE (→FE→EE) all have the short accent. Doubts also appear when we examine the versions of FED and FES, where we cannot be sure whether the accent is still valid for the fragmented melody and if so, whether it should be linked with the note f2 or with the 3rd beat.

b. 59

composition: Op. 24 No. 1, Mazurka in G minor

No L.H. slur or tie in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

A tie in GE2 (→GE3)

The editors' proposition
..

We suggest supplementing a slur over a pair of chords, after the slur found in analogous bars 3 and 51 in A. GE2 (→GE3) also had that sign supplemented (on the basis of the comparison with analogous bars) yet the distorted notation of GE was repeated there. Cf. note to bar 11.

An additional small slur under the fourth g2-d2 was omitted in GE (→FE→EE).

b. 60

composition: Op. 24 No. 1, Mazurka in G minor

No articulation marks in A (GE1→FE→EE)

Articulation marks in GE2 (→GE3)
..

We supplement articulation marks for the left hand in line with the authentic markings in analogous bars 4, 12 and 52. These markings were already supplemented in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 60-61

composition: Op. 24 No. 1, Mazurka in G minor

In A, the slur linking the notes b1 and a1 in bars 60-61 has the form of a short curved line reaching the quaver a1: .
