In the main text we give 5 long accents placed between the staves, which corresponds to the unequivocal notation of A1. The notation of GE1 is generally compliant with the above, although it is difficult to say conclusively whether they are short or long accents on the basis of GE1 only; anyway, they are slightly longer than the majority of the accents in the middle section of the Mazurka. The version of the remaining editions, with short accents over the top stave, must be a result of routine revision: the engravers of FE and GE2 reproduced the marks in the same manner, yet independently. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE , Placement of markings , GE revisions |

Two slurs in FE (→EE) may be explained by an unfinished (or simplified) correction, in which the top slur was added – perhaps by Chopin – as an amendment of the bottom one, moved by the engraver to the side of the noteheads (cf. b. 79-80, in which the same slur written above the stave in A1 was reproduced under the notes).

The tie of c1 is probably a slur of A1, distorted due to a routine shift to the side of noteheads. It is indicated by b. 77-78, in which the slur of A1, written in the same manner, was reproduced in FE as a tie of c1. The right slur, yet also inaccurately reproduced, was probably added in the proofreading of FE (→EE), perhaps by Chopin. We consider the misleading tie of c1 having been left in the text to be an inaccuracy committed in the implementation of the proofreading.

In FE (→EE) a routine transfer of the slur to the side of noteheads changed the unequivocal slur of A1 into a tie of c1. Unlike in b. 65-66, no attempts were taken to correct that mistake.
