b. 76

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

a-c1 in AI, FE (→EE) & GE3

c1-e1 in GE1 (→GE2)
..

The version of GE1 (→GE2) is a remaining element of a Terzverschreibung committed by the engraver of FE1, which was corrected in the last stage of proofreading in the finished FE; however, through the proof copy serving as the basis for GE1, it found its way to this edition (in FE one can see traces of corrections of this mistake). In GE3 the correct text was most probably drawn from FE2.
