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)

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.
