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. 33-48

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

..

In [A] (→FE1GE) Chopin wrote the middle section of the Mazurka in a key signature with four flats, although the prevailing key is D major, while from bar 41 even G major. Chopin corrected the key signature in FE2 (→EEW). Such discrepancy between the key signature and the prevailing key happened to Chopin in the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 33 No. 1, which both in the manuscripts and the editions is written down with 4 sharps.
