b. 59

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

 before 3rd crotchet in Af

 under 3rd crotchet in FE (→EE) & GE
..

Just like in the remaining similar bars (b. 45-57 and 77-88), the sources differ in the placement of the  mark, of which we make a note, in spite of the fact that it actually does not influence the performance in this bar.

b. 60

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

No pedalling in AI & GE

  in AF

  in FE (→EE)
..

The absence of pedalling markings in GE may be a result of carelessness of Chopin in [AG] or of the engraver in GE1. Therefore, in the main text we give the pedalling of AF (→FE→EE).

No sign in AI & GE

The  hairpin is one of a few performance indications added in AF (→FE→EE). According to us, it points to one of a few possible interpretations of the beginning of this phrase, hence we include it in the main text in a variant form.

AI does not include the sostenuto indication.

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

 after 3rd crotchet in AF (→FE)

 under 3rd crotchet in GE & EE
..

Small differences in the placement of the  marks are of no practical meaning in this context. In the main text we reproduce the notation of AF (→FE), perhaps more accurate in this fragment – cf. b. 60. EE are lacking in the  mark in b. 63, which is most probably a mistake related to the transition to a new page; we consider neither this version nor the absence of pedalling in AI to be a variant.
