b. 3-4

composition: Op. 63 No. 3, Mazurka in C# minor

2  in FE (→EEW) & GE2 (→GE3)

No markings in GE1
..

The missing  marks in GE1 must be an oversight, corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 5-7

composition: Op. 63 No. 3, Mazurka in C# minor

Lower register of accompaniment in FE1 (→GE)

Higher register of accompaniment in FE2 (→EEW)
..

The authenticity of the change of position of the accompanying chords and the bass register introduced in FE2 (→EE) is unquestionable. In a later version Chopin polished up the sequence of 3 voices contained in chords in the tenor and alto register and avoided a parallel shift of chords (G major→C minor) between bars 7 and 8.

b. 7

composition: Op. 63 No. 3, Mazurka in C# minor

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  to f2, as it was performed by GE3.

b. 8-12

composition: Op. 63 No. 3, Mazurka in C# minor

 before 3rd beat of b. 8 & 12 in FE (→GE)

 after 3rd beat in EEW
..

The  marks having been placed in bars 8 and 12 after the 3rd crotchet is probably an inaccuracy by the engraver of EEW, who did not realise the change of chord on the 3rd beat of these bars.

b. 13

composition: Op. 63 No. 3, Mazurka in C# minor

g-b-e1 in FE1 (→GE)
