b. 3

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

..

In GE2 (→GE3) a cautionary  was added before a1 on the last chord. That unjustified revision was probably done to imitate Chopin's signs in analogous bars 11, 51 and 59.

b. 11

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

..

In this bar and the two analogous ones (51 and 59) Chopin inserted a cautionary   before a1 in A (→GE→FE→EE). We omit that unnecessary sign.

b. 17

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

..

In A (→GE1) there is no cautionary  before f1. The sign was supplemented in FE (→EE) and GE2 (→GE3). The addition in FE is probably part of Chopin's proofing of that edition.
