b. 92

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

Slur to g2 in AI & GE

Slur to e2 in Af, literal reading

Slur to d2 in FE

No slur in EE
..

The sources differ in the range of the R.H. slur. When interpreted literally, the slur of AF reaches e2 only, which is almost certainly an inaccuracy, since the slur's shape suggests that it should be led further, probably to the g2 minim. The version of FE is an alternative interpretation of the slur. In the main text we give the unequivocal slur of AI and GE. The missing slur in EE is probably an oversight – the entire section encompassing b. 69-92 is devoid of slurs.

b. 93

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

No marking in AI & GE

 in AF (→FE→EE)
..

In the main text we include the  indication, which is a part of a more detailed, and probably also the latest, notation of this fragment in AF. Cf. the notes in b. 92.

b. 94-96

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

..

AI and AF (→FE→EE) are lacking in the sharps restoring f2 at the end of b. 94 and f1 at the end of b. 96, as a result of which it is only GE that contain the correct text – cf. b. 2 and 4, which Chopin wrote without mistakes in both Stichvorlage autographs.

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

Long accent in AF (contextual interpretation) & GE

 in AF (literal reading→FE→EE)
..

The mark in AF, although it reaches the beginning of b. 95, must have been meant as a long accent. It is indicated by the notation of GE and comparison with analogous b. 2. In FE (→EE) the mark was reproduced as a  hairpin.
