b. 29

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

b-e1-g1 in A1 (→FE) & GE

b-c1-e1 in EE

..

The version of EE is a double Terzverschreibung, committed in FE, in which Chopin corrected it in the last stage of proofreading (it is proven by evident traces of correction in print).

b. 36-37

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

No marks in GE

Short & long accent in FE

Short accent in bar 36 in EE

..

In the main text we include the long accents written in A1. An analysis of the crossings-out and corrections in that autograph suggests that Chopin added the accents while performing the last corrections in the finished manuscript, probably after [A2] had already been written. The composer's intention is also confirmed by possible Chopinesque proofreading of FE in b. 37: the fact that the accent was added in the last stage of proofreading is indicated by the absence of the mark in EE.

b. 60-68

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

No repeats in A1 & EE

Repeats in FE & GE

..

The version without repetition of b. 60-67 and 68-83 written down in A1 must be the original version, changed by Chopin in the last stage of proofreading of FE, since EE convey the version of A1. The repeat signs are also included in GE1; however, it is difficult to say whether they were added only just in print or still in [A2]; according to us – rather in the manuscript.

b. 62-63

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

A repeated in A1 & GE

A  tied in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion

..

The tie of A was added by Chopin in the last stage of proofreading of FE. In the main text we include it in a variant form, since the same place was completed differently in the proofreading of GE (or in [A2]), i.e. Chopin added there arpeggios at the beginning of b. 63. Therefore, it is likely that holding A (and pedal, see the note in b. 63) is one way to perform this fragment, while arpeggios – another one. The same applies to b. 78-79.

b. 63

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

No markings in A1, EE & GE

Pedalling in FE

Our alternative suggestion

..

In the main text we include the pedalling (in a variant form) added by Chopin in the last stage of proofreading of FE. The same applies to b. 79.
