Title in A (→GE1)

FE and GE2 (→GE3)

EE
..

Replacement of 4 Mazurkas with Quatre Mazurkas does not change the authentic title. The addition to the title in EE is definitely inauthentic; the English editor added the expression Souvenir de la Pologne to each consecutive opus of Chopin's Mazurkas.

A wedge in A

A dot in GE

 No sign in FE (→EE)
..

In GE, the note D is furnished with a dot despite the fact that a wedge is clearly visible in A. The sign was entirely omitted from FE (→EE) (cf. bar 13 and bars 5 and 9). GE (→FE→EE have only dots as staccato signs in the entire Mazurka.

 in A

 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

In those bars, the pedal release asterisks are put in A usually at the end of the bar, after the 3rd crotchet of the L.H. (with the exception of bar 17 and analog. and the 1st volta of bar 32). In  GE (→FE→EE) all the signs were printed under the 3rd crotchet which suggests – against A – the need of rhythmic release of the pedal in that moment. The problem also occurs in the second part  of the Mazurka.

A dot in  A (→GE)

Absence of any sign in FE (→EE)
..

The absence of a staccato dot in FE (→EE) is probably due to oversight on the part of the engraver.
