composition: Op. 64 No 3, Waltz in A♭ major

..

A cautionary , added in FE (→GE,EE), before d2 is certainly justified after the five-bar-long cadenza in E major.

In the main text we add a cautionary  before a2.

..

In As (→A) there is no  next to c2, which, in this context, has to be considered an inaccuracy. The sign was added already in FE (→GE,EE).

g1-g1 in A

f1-g1 in As & FE (→EE)

g1-a1 in GE
..

All three source versions are most probably authentic and prove the composer's hesitation and the quest for the smoothest formula for this motif. In the main text, we give probably the latest version of GE (the middle g1-a1 quavers), adding – after GE2op (→GE3op) and GE2Ab – a cautionary  before g1.
