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.

Staccato signs in bars 5 and 9 in A (→GE→FE)

Missing in bars 5 and 9 in EE are the staccato dots under D. This is probably the engraver's fault.

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.

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

A and GE2 (→GE3): 4 dots in bars 17, 21, 25, 29

GE1 (→FE): 2 dots in bars 21 and 29

EE: one dot in bar 21
..

In A, Chopin marked staccato for the F notes in bars 17, 21, 25 and 29. In GE1 (→FE→EE), the dots were omitted in bars 17 and 25, and in EE also in bar 29. The reviewer of GE2 (→GE3) supplemented the missing dots, possibly on the basis of A.
