b. 165-168

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

No L.H. slurs in AI & AF (→FE→EE)

Slurs in GE
..

Just like in b. 157-160, two L.H. slurs are almost certainly an improvement introduced into [AG] (→GE).

No marking in AI & AF (→FE→EE)

() 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.

b. 165

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

..

AI and AF are lacking in the  lowering d to d. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in FE (→EE); it is also GE that features the correct text.

b. 166-169

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

cresc. - - in bar 169 in AF (→FE)

cresc. - - in bar 166 in GE

cresc. in bar 169 in EE
..

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. 166

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

Crotchet f1 in AI & AF (→FE→EE)

Quaver f1 in GE
..

In the main text we give the simplified – most probably by Chopin in [AG] – notation of GE. The only perceptible difference affecting the performance is the rhythmic value of the f1 note in the chord on the 2nd quaver of the bar.
In AI this bar is of draft nature, written hastily and containing numerous crossings-out. The final version corresponds to the one of AF.
