b. 49-53

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Slur in bars 51-52 in A1 *→FE)

Continued slur to bar 53 in GE

No slur in EE
..

In GE the slur started still in b. 45 reaches the 1st quaver of b. 53, which we give in the main text, since it most probably corresponds to the notation of [A2]. The slurring of A1 shows the independent phrase of the upper voice in b. 45-48 and then a two-bar section, in which the R.H. upper voice is no longer separated from the remaining voices of the accompaniment. It is also noteworthy that the 1st quaver in b. 53, which opens a new phrase, is not linked to the preceding crotchets.

No markings in A1 (→FE→EE)

 &  in GE
..

In the main text we include the  mark in b. 53 and the  mark in b. 57, which most probably come from [A2].

b. 53-54

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

No sign in FE (→EE)

in GE
..

In the main text we give the  hairpin after GE. In A1 the mark begins a beat earlier, yet there is no  at the beginning of that bar in that autograph. The absence of the mark in FE (→EE) is probably an oversight of the engraver.

b. 53

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Long accent in A1 & GE1

Short accent in FE (→EE) & GE2
..

The shortened accent is an inaccuracy of FE (→EE) and GE2.

b. 53-54

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Slur in A1 (→FE) & GE

No slur in EE
..

The missing slur in EE is most probably a part of a major mistake encompassing the oversight of the R.H. slurs in b. 49-56 (one and a half line at the beginning of the 3rd page of the Mazurka).
