Quavers & rests in AI & AF (→FEEE)

Crotchets in GE

In b. 20 and 24, AI initially contained the original concept of the L.H. part:  and .
Chopin then crossed out the rests and the semiquavers and replaced them with quaver rests, which is preserved in AF (→FEEE). The notation of GE, in which Chopin simplified it even more, seems to be the latest in this situation. The conclusion is confirmed by analogous b. 112 and 116, in which all sources feature crotchets only.

In b. 45, 47, 48 and 53-55, there are visible traces of corrections of the chords on the 2nd or 3rd beat of the bar in AI. In each case Chopin removed one note from the originally written f-b-d1 triad – in b. 45, 47, 53 and 55 and d1 in b. 48 and 54.

b. 45-57

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

..

On the basis of AI one can see that Chopin hesitated whether to write the B major section (from b. 45) using a 4- or a 5-sharp key signature. It is proven by the following actions: a new key signature was added in b. 45 and 57, then the sharps of A and a1 were removed in both places, while the sharps before the a notes in b. 50 and 52 (as well as in 61 and 74) were crossed out and then reintroduced.
