Verbal indications

b. 158-161

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

cresc. - - in bar 161 in AF (→FE→EE)

cresc. - - in bar 158 in GE
..

In the main text we give the version of AF (→FE→EE), in which a continuous cresc. begins only just in the second half of the eight-bar section. The version of GE, also undoubtedly authentic, can be considered an equal variant. A similar situation can be found in b. 166-169.

b. 163-164

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

No dashes in AI & EE

Dashes in AF (→FE) & GE
..

The missing dashes marking the range of the cresc. from b. 161 are probably an inaccuracy of EE. In AI, until b. 187, there are no performance indications except for the R.H. slurs and 5 accents in b. 173-177.

() suggested by the editors
..

From b. 158 on we give the dynamic indications of AF – see the note to b. 158-161. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest , which is compliant with the indications of AF, yet present in GE, in a variant form.

Just like in b. 158-161, in the main text we give the version of AF (→FE→EE), in which a continuous cresc. starts only just in the second half of the eight-bar section. The version of GE, also undoubtedly authentic, can be considered an equal variant.

b. 173-176

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

No indication in AI & Af (→FE→EE)

cresc. - - in GE
..

The clarification that it is also this culminant phrase that unfolds further until the critical chord in b. 177 seems to be an improvement introduced into [AG] (→GE). It is the first out of an entire group of additional markings in GE – cf. b. 177, 177-180, 180-188, 185, 189-191.
