..
In an earlier version, written down in AI, the entire bar is based on a B major chord, while the thirds in the melody constitute a delay. The final version replaced the melodic tension with harmonic one by introducing a diminished four-note chord as the chord leading to B major.

The missing tie to e2-d2 means that Chopin initially wanted this note to be repeated at the beginning of bar 25. The change of concept is confirmed by the corresponding change of slur – see the note in the next bar. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Main-line changes |

Although the notation of bars 36 and 46 does not differ between AI and FE (→GE,EE), the difference in key signature means that the 2nd quaver is a d1(2) in AI, but a d1(2) in the editions. Both versions are written correctly:

The version of AI was eventually abandoned when Chopin prepared the Mazurka for print. However, the deletions visible in the manuscript suggest that the latest version (with quavers only) was at the same time the earliest one, since it was this version that Chopin most probably wrote first; only then did he change it to a version with a crotchet on the 2nd beat of the bar. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Main-line changes |

The version of AI with an f minim was replaced by Chopin in [A] by the version of FE (→GE,EE) with a dotted rhythm. However, in FE1, as in bars 58-60, Chopin almost certainly forgot about the raising d to d in the last quaver, as a result of which it is a d. He added this sharp while proofreading FE2 (→EE); the accidental was also independently added by the reviser of GE, and this is the version we give in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in FE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Main-line changes |
