No dedication in FC (→GE)

Dedication in FE (→EE)

The absence of dedication in FC (→GE) suggests that Chopin decided to dedicate the Mazurkas to the Duchess of Württemberg already after having sent the copy to Leipzig; afterwards, he no longer dealt with the issue. The Duchess came to Paris the year the Mazurkas were published (1837), hence the decision concerning the dedication could have appeared relatively late in the publishing process.
