A double bar line in AI

No line in A (→GEFEEE)

b. 12

composition: Op. 24 No. 3, Mazurka in A♭ major

..

Whether the slur encompasses only the two quavers, or should be continued in bar 1 is not clear in A. In GE (→FEEE) the slur was interpreted as a shorter one. AI has no slurs in this bar.

Slur in AI

Our alternative suggestion

..

Slurs over bars 13-14 have different versions in the sources, and each of them can be authentic. begins and ends one crotchet earlier in AI (shorter ending may result from Chopin's inaccurate notation). In GE1 (→FEEE) the slur is preceded with an additional short slur c2-d2 in bars 12-13. Moreover, in EE the beginning of the longer slur is shifted to the note e flat2 in bar 13. In our main text we rely on A.
