b. 25

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

Chord with B in As

No B in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In the final version, Chopin omitted a B note occuring in As in the last chord.
Initially, As had an E crotchet on the 2nd beat, which Chopin eventually deleted.

b. 25-26

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

No d1 in bar 26 in As

Tied d1 in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Sustaining d1 between bars 25-26 is a subtle diversification of the harmonic progression introduced at the stage of preparing the Mazurka for publication.

b. 26

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

..

When interpreted literally, both L.H. crotchets in As are G-e. It must be an inaccuracy resulting from the sketchy, hasty notation.

b1 in As

a1 with  in FE (→GE,EE)
..

It is unclear whether the different version of the beginning of the bar – b1 without an ornament as the 1st R.H. note – is an actual variant or simply an inaccurate record of the sketched melody (cf. bar 26).

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

Crotchet in As

Quaver, rest & semiquaver in FE (→GE,EE)

In As the 2nd beat does not differ from the version of bar 20, which must be the initial version, enhanced in the process of preparing the Mazurka for publication.
