in tempo in FE

No indication in FC (→GE)

a tempo in EE

The in tempo indication was most probably added as part of the Chopinesque proofreading of FE. A possible oversight by the copyist seems less likely, since a similar difference appears twice more in the Mazurka in C minor No. 4 (bars 41 and 57). The change of preposition from in to a was an arbitrary decision of the engraver/reviser of EE.
