b. 67

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

2 slurs in A1 (→FE→EE)

Continuous slur in GE1

New slur in GE2
..

Just like in the previous, analogous places, in the main text we give the slur of GE1, based on [A2]. In GE2 this bar opens a new page and the beginning of the slur was moved over the 1st quaver so that it would not continue the previous one (simplified, erroneous revision – see b. 65-66).

b. 78

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

Dotted rhythm in A1 (→FE→EE)

Quavers in GE
..

The quavers in the L.H. top voice might be a mistake of GE, since due to the parallel movement, the voices are not independent. In the entire Mazurka a similar combination of L.H. quavers with R.H. dotted rhythm appears only twice, in b. 47 and 54. In both cases the voices co-create the polyphonising texture and are clearly independent.

No marks in A1 (→FE→EE)

Staccato dots in GE1

Staccato dot in bar 93 in GE2
..

In the main text we include the staccato dot present in GE1 at the beginning of b. 89 and 93. Such an articulation – a dot and a slur – refers to the original version of this motif in b. 1 and analog. The absence of the dot in b. 89 must be an oversight of the engraver of GE2.

R.H. staccato dot in A1 (→FE→EE)

Dots in both hands in GE1

In the main text we include the staccato dots in the parts of both hands after GE1. The missing marks in GE2 must be an oversight.
