b. 52-53

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

The slur of A (conventional notation) and GE2 (→GE3)

The slur of A (Chopin's notation)

The slur of GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The slurs linking b1 with a1 in bars 52-53 and 60-61 have in A the form of a short slur reaching the quaver a1 (see the note for bars 4-13). In bars 52-53, the slur notation is additionally unclear in A as the slur is only present in bar  53 (new page). This must have confused the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE), who evidently misinterpreted Chopin's slur.

b. 53-61

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

Wedges in bars 53 and 61 in A

Dots in GE (→FE→EE)
..

Just like everywhere else in this Mazurka, in GE (→FE→EE) Chopin's wedges were changed into dots. Cf. the note to bar 1.

In analogous bars in the entire Mazurka the editions have under the 3rd crotchet, contrary to the notation of A – cf. note to bars 33-63. In this bar EE has  even a little earlier.

b. 53-54

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

One slur in A, EE and GE2 (→GE3)

Two slurs in GE1 (→FE)
..

One of the two slurs embracing the same motif in GE1 (→FE) is definitely redundant. The extra slur (the upper one) was removed both from GE2 (→GE3) and from EE.
