Chopin performed changes to the R.H. part notation in A1, which is proven by 3 deletions each in b. 94 and 97 and one in b. 95.

The missing pedalling in GE must be considered an inaccuracy, since Chopin wrote here markings in A1 (→FE→EE); moreover, all analogous bars include them in both groups of the sources. Due to that reason, we explicitly give the pedalling in the main text, in a formula analogous to b. 91: and two , one from A1 and the other modelled after the markings of GE in b. 91, 97 and 99. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

The slurs of A1 in b. 95 and 97 begin closer to the 1st note of the bar than to the 2nd one, hence we reproduce them in accordance with the unequivocal notation in analogous b. 91. This is how they were interpreted in FE (→EE). In the main text we give the probably later slurs of [A2] (→GE). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

In the main text we give the version of GE, which is almost certainly an improvement introduced by Chopin in [A2]. At the beginning of analogous b. 92, the delay was introduced – contrary to a similar procedure in b. 90-91, 94-95 and 98-99 – only just in the phase of proofreading of A1. Therefore, it can be said that the version of GE ends both the improvement and the unification processes of the harmonic course of the final section of the Mazurka. It cannot be ruled out that the absence of a corresponding correction in the discussed bar in A1 is an example of an overlooked correction of an analogous place, which is often encountered in Chopinesque sources. However, we consider the version of A1 to be an almost equal variant, since due to the absence of a corresponding correction in FE, there is no proof that Chopin considered the change in [A2] to have definitively replaced the original version. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes , Omitted correction of an analogous place |

The pedal change in A1 guarantees the clarity of the harmonic sequence and does not intermingle the c1-b semitone. The longer pedal in GE offers a fuller sound and preserves the bass note. Since the advantages and disadvantages of both versions are equal, in the main text we suggest a variant solution. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |
