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 (→FEEE have only dots as staccato signs in the entire 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.

More probably a long accent in A

A short accent in GE

Inaccurate notation of FE

 in EE

..

It is not clear whether the accent written in A was meant to be a short one or a long one. GE (→FE) has a short accent here, and the inaccurate placement of that mark in FE brought about its erroneous interpretation in EE. However, a comparison with the analogous bars 11, 51 and 59 points to the long accent option as being more probable.

Articulation in  A

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
