b. 89

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

b in chords in AI & AF (→FE→EE)

No b in chords in GE
..

The version of GE is most probably erroneous – it was the text of the next bar that was written, in which there is no b in the L.H. due to b, the 2nd R.H. quaver. In the discussed bar, the presence of b in the chords is advantageous both in terms of harmony (b from the previous bar moves to b) and dynamics – entry of the G major chord in  dynamics.

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.
