b. 71-72

composition: Op. 63 No. 1, Mazurka in B major

Longer slur in AI & FE (contextual interpretation→EEW)

Shorter slur in FE (literal reading→EEC)

No slur in GE
..

In FE a mistake was committed by not continuing the slur in a new line, which was reproduced in EEC as a slur over 4 quavers. In the main text we correct this oversight by leading the slur to c1-e1, as it was interpreted in EEW. The absence of the slur in GE is probably a mistake, although it cannot be excluded that the proof copy of FE1 that served as the basis for GE1 did not yet include this slur – see the note on the slur in bar 69.

b. 71-73

composition: Op. 63 No. 1, Mazurka in B major

In the main text we add a cautionary  to e1 in bars 71 and 73,  as it was performed in GE2 (→GE3).

 over a in AI & GE3

 under f1 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)
..

As in bar 5 and 7, the mordent having been placed under the f1-a1 third in FE must be a mistake, corrected only in GE3. The correct notation is also in AI.
