b. 48-49

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

c1 repeated in As & GE

c1 tied in FE (→EEW)
..

The main text comes from FE (→EEW). From a source point of view, there are no grounds to question the version of FE – see the note on bars 8-9. On the other hand, such a non-played grace note is highly unusual for Chopin, hence, taking into account a possible mistake in the version of FE, we consider the version of GE, analogous to bars 8-9, an acceptable variant.

b. 48

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

Longer slur in FE (→GE1,EEW)

Shorter slur in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The slur having been shortened is an arbitrary revision or simply an inaccuracy by GE2 (→GE3).

b. 50

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

 up to c2 in FE

 up to a1 in GE1 & EEW

 up to f1 in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Similarly to bar 42, the extended  hairpins in GE2 (→GE3) and EEW result from arbitrary revisions, probably based on the analogy with bars 2 and 10 (GE) or 42 (EEW).
