b. 13

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

No indication in AI or the main text

in A (→GE→FE→EE)
..

Initially, all the L.H. chords in bars 13-19 were notated as crotchets and either embraced with a single slur in AI or marked with legato in bar 13 in A. Later Chopin separated in A (→GE→FE→EE) shorter motifs with slurs and rests. In this context the indication legato, not fully in keeping with the new articulation concept, was left supposedly by mistake. Therefore we omit that term from our main text.

In A, Chopin put  on the 2nd beat of bar 30 and bar 34 . The mark was included in all the first editions.

b. 30

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

..

AI has no  here; Chopin wrote it later in A (→GE→FE→EE). The marking in A is placed over the R.H. what seems to have no special meaning here. We put it—following first editions—in a standard position between staves.

b. 34

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

No performance marking in AI

dolce in A (→GE→FE→EE)
..

AI does not have the indication dolce. Chopin added it in A (→GE→FE→EE) in both bars 10 and 34.
