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.
