b. 85-86

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

No marks in sources

Accents suggested by the editors
..

We consider the missing accents, which are present in analogous bars 15-16, to be Chopin's inadvertence, since nothing indicates that – in spite of minor differences – the composer could have envisioned a different performance of bars 9-24 and 79-94.

b. 86

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

..

In the main text we omit the Chopinesque but unjustified cautionary  to g1. It was only EE that omitted this accidental.

b. 87-89

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

in FC (→GE)

Shorter  in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we give a  hairpin with a range corrected – probably by Chopin – in FC. A mark of an almost identical range is present in FE in analogous bars 17-19.

issues: Authentic corrections of FC

b. 87

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

..

In the main text we include the cautionary  to b1, most probably added to FC (→GE) by Chopin.

b. 89

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

No  in FC (→GE1)

in FE (→EE) & GE2
..

The missing  in FC (→GE1) must be an oversight by the copyist (in FC this bar ends the page, which is conducive to distraction – see below, the note on ). The mark was added in GE2, most probably by analogy with bar 19.
