b. 99

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

No marking in AI & GE

continued in AF

in FE

Accent in EE
..

The mark in this bar is a continuation of the  hairpin (long accent) from the preceding bar, which falls at the end of the page in FE (→EE). EE feature here a short accent, like in the preceding bar. In the main text we give the version of GE, which do not contain any mark in this bar (after the long accent in b. 98).

 suggested by the editors (AF in bars 8-9)
..

A comparison with other sources, as well as with the notation of both autographs in analogous b. 8-9, suggests that the  hairpin is too long here in AF. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest the notation used in an analogous place the first time, which is substantially consistent with the notation of GE1.

b. 101

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

No mark in AI & GE

Staccato dot in AF (→FE→EE)
..

The lack of staccato dot in GE must be recognized as an oversight by the engraver or Chopin himself – GE has the mark in the analogous b. 9.

b. 102-104

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

Long accents in GE

Long accents suggested by the editors
..

The long accents under the triplets in b. 102 and 104 are only in GE. In the main text we place them over the notes, in accordance with the notation of AF in b. 10-12.
