b. 20

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

Staccato dot in AI

No mark in AF (→FEEE) & GE

..

The staccato dot was repeated neither in the remaining sources nor in any of analogous b. 24, 112 and 116. Therefore, we assume that Chopin forwent this mark, and we do not include it in the main text.

b. 21

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

Long accent in AI & AF

Short accent in FE (→EE) & GE

..

In the main text we give the unequivocal long accent written in AI and FE. Short accents in the editions must be a result of a misunderstanding of the manuscripts.

b. 22-23

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

No slur in AI

Slur in AF & GE

Tie to a in FE (→EE)

..

Just like in b. 18-19 and 20-21, in the main text we give the slur added to the version prepared for print – AF and [AG] (→GE). The slur in FE (→EE) was placed on the side of the noteheads, which made it look like a tie of a.

b. 23

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

No mark in sources

Long accent suggested by the editors

Short accent, our alternative suggestion

..

The missing mark in the discussed bar is most probably Chopin's inadvertence. In the main text we suggest a long accent, in accordance with Chopinesque proofreading in analogous b. 115. The alternative suggestion results from the ambiguous notation of the autographs in similar b. 19 and 111.

b. 24

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

Staccato dot in AI & GE

No mark in AF (→FEEE)

..

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