The missing staccato dot in FE (→EE) may be a result of its placement in A1: the mark is very distinct yet placed quite high above the stave and inaccurately over the 1st quaver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |

The slur is one of the improvements of notation introduced most probably in [A2] (→GE). In A1 one can see a crossing-out here; it forced Chopin to rewrite the 1st beat of the bar on the stave below. The first was most probably the version with grace note (like in b. 77), which Chopin then deleted and wrote a simultaneously played D-d octave next to it. However, the bottom note had to be rewritten for some reason; after the final form of that figure had been developed, Chopin decided to write it out neatly. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A |

The missing staccato dot over the bass D is probably an oversight of Chopin in [A2] or of the engraver of GE. Assuming that the c1 semiquaver is performed with the L.H. (in accordance with the notation), any other articulation than staccato is practically out of the question. category imprint: Differences between sources |

In the main text we give the more cautious pedalling of GE, probably later and compliant with the indication in b. 77. However, the version of the remaining sources, allowing for a longer echo of the bass D, may be considered to be a variant. category imprint: Differences between sources |

Both authentic versions of the slurring – A1 and GE, which conveys the notation of [A2] – are advisable and show various possibilities of how to phrase this fragment and the entire final thought of the Mazurka: see also b. 93-95. In the main text we give the version of A1 due to the reasons indicated in the note to b. 74-75. Cf. also b. 48-53. category imprint: Differences between sources |
