Principles adopted for the main text
of the Mazurka in A♭ major Op. 24 No 3

We have adopted FE, which appears to be the latest authentic source in the process of publication of the Mazurka, as the basic source. We rely on A for the correction of errors and inaccuracies made by engravers. We include the fingering added in FED and FES.
