b. 20-24

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

Ending of the middle part in AI

Longer ending in A (→GE)

Tied c2 in FE (→EE)
..

Compared with AI Chopin made the ending of the middle phrase of the Mazurka in A (→GE→FE→EE) longer by two bars. The composer wavered as regards tying or repeating the first c2. In the main text we take account of a tie to this note added by Chopin while correcting the FE (→EE).

Cf. the comment to the L.H. and the pedalling.

The L.H. rhythm in AI

On the 1st beat of bars 25 & 27, AI has equal quavers in the L.H. inner voice (those bars are only marked in AI as a repetition of bars 1 & 3).

Additional "voice" in GE2
..

In bars 25-28 & 31-32 in GE2 the crotchets e and A were notated as if each of them belonged to two parts. This is an arbitrary editor's revision.
