b. 8

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

A long accent in A

A short accent in  GE (→FE→EE)
..

In A, the difference in notation of the two R.H. accents in this bar is very pronounced. Nevertheless, the second one - the long one - was in GE (→FE→EE) reproduced as a short one.

b. 8

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

Articulation in  A

GE1

FE (→EE)

GE2 (→GE3)
..

We give the precise notation of A, which later underwent gradual distortions in GE1 and FE (→EE): first  the omission of the dot and moving of the accent, then lowering of the curved line. As a result, in FE (→EE) the note a is sustained, which almost certainly goes against Chopin's intentions, as changes did not have the nature of corrections at any stage

b. 10

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

A dot in A (→GE→FE)

No sign in EE
..

The lack of a staccato dot under G in EE is probably due to the engraver's omission.
