 in AI is one of many signals that the original Chopinesque concept of the middle section of the Mazurka was evidently more subdued, delicate and with a smaller number of contrasts than the final one.

This is one of few places in which the difference in the dynamic markings between AI and the published version cannot be reduced to a difference in markings accuracy or to the intention of paying attention to another aspect of the dynamic course. In this case, it is a clearly defined dichotomy. If we take into account the fact that the return of the Mazurka main theme in bar 69 in both versions begins with a firm accent, the FE version (→GE,EE) is undoubtedly more coherent.
