No ornament in FE (→EE)

 & [] suggested by the editors

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 c2, 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 c2. However, the literal interpretation – featuring c– certainly does not disturb the sonic atmosphere of this fragment of the Mazurka.
