Issues : Chopin's hesitations
b. 1

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

AI is devoid of tempo markings. Generally, there are barely 3 verbal indications in the entire AI: The crossings-out visible in AF over the beginning of the piece prove that Chopin was looking for the best indication of its tempo and character, just like in both previous Mazurkas. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Chopin's hesitations , Deletions in A |

In AF both the ending of the slur in b. 8 and the beginning of the slur in b. 9 are written inaccurately, as a result of which each of the given versions may be considered an interpretation of this notation. According to us, the latter is to be interpreted as beginning from the 1st quaver of the bar, which is indicated by the similar yet more accurate versions of notation of AI and AF in analogous b. 100-101 (in AF the version prior to combining the slurs). To the main text we adopt the version of FE, perhaps proofread by Chopin (the first slur having been extended). The version of AI and GE may be considered an equal variant. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Chopin's hesitations , Authentic corrections of FE |

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 category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Chopin's hesitations , Last key signature sign , Corrections of AI |
