b. 72-75

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

No marks in A1 (→FE→EE)

4 accents in GE1

3 accents in GE2
..

Just like in the previous bars, 4 subsequent accents must have been added in the proofreading of GE1 or earlier, still in [A2]. The mark in b. 74 is poorly visible, as a result of which it was overlooked in GE2. According to us, it is, however, a print defect and not a remaining element after removal of that accent.
The marks in GE1 slightly differ in size, which we, however, consider to be irrelevant: see the note in b. 60-64.

In b. 73, 75, 77-78 and 81, in the main text we give the only authentic notation of A1 and GE1, which is, moreover, concordant, in which the slurs next to the grace notes reach the bottom note of the following quaver. The versions of FE and EE result from mistakes and inaccuracies, whereas in the case of GE2 – from revision.
