b. 24

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

Staccato dot in AI & GE

No mark in AF (→FE→EE)
..

The missing staccato dot in AF (→FE→EE) must be an oversight of Chopin – in the very AF, dots are present in analogous b. 20 and 116.

 suggested by the editors
..

The  hairpin was used to specify the notation and was introduced by Chopin probably in [AG] (→GE). However, according to us, it is likely that the beginning of the mark was reproduced inaccurately, which is indicated by the beginning of the respective mark of AF in analogous b. 117-118.

2  in GE
..

Just like in b. 25, the  hairpins in b. 27 and 28-30 specify the notation and were introduced by Chopin probably in [AG] (→GE).

In the main text we give the most accurate indications of GE1, most probably corresponding to the notation of [AG]. The minor differences in the range of the signs in FE, EE and GE2 bear hallmarks of inaccuracies and have a negligible impact on the meaning of the marks. See also b. 31.

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

No mark in AI, AF (→FE→EE) & GE2

Accent in GE1
..

In the main text we take into account the accent of GE1 – it is most probably a clarification entered into [AG]. The absence of the mark in GE2 is most probably an oversight of the engraver.
