b. 14

g1 in As & FE2 (→EEW)

f1 in FE1 (→GE)
..

The change of g1 to f1 in FE1 (→GE) must be a mistake. It was corrected in FE2 (→EEW).

..

Read literally, As has F instead of G as the lower note of the 1st L.H. crotchet. This is certainly an inaccuracy of the notation.

b. 17

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

No g in As

Chord with g in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In the final version, Chopin completed the last chord of the bar, probably aiming to emphasize the livelier, devoid of melancholy character of the new phrase with a firmer sound of the full dominant ninth chord.

b. 18

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

E-e in As

A-e in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The octave of E in As refers to the octave in the previous bar. In the final version, however, Chopin limited the mobility of the bass voice, presumably due to the introduction of the pedal note A in the next bar. Cf. bar 26.
