The missing mordent in FE (→EE) must be a mistake of the engraver. In the main text we add a over the ornament, specifying the use of c2, and not of c
2, as the top note. Chopin would often omit such marks and, according to us, such an inaccuracy is much more likely here than a 'default' use of c
2. However, the literal interpretation – featuring c
2 – certainly does not disturb the sonic atmosphere of this fragment of the Mazurka.
