b. 60

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

g-a-e1 in As (→A→FE→EE) & GE3op

a-e1-f1 in GE1op (→GE2op) & GE1Ab (→GE2Ab)
..

The last chord in As (→A→FE→EE) is g-a-e1. In the proofreading of GE1op and GE1Ab it was changed (most probably at Chopin's request – cf. the note to bar 49) to a-e1-f1. We give the latter, probably being the latest, in the main text. It is not clear what was the motivation of the revisers of GE3op, when they returned the original chord. However, since it is undoubtedly authentic, it can be considered to be an equal variant.

b. 61-62

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

Triads in As (→A→FE→EE,GE1Ab,GE1op→GE2op)

Sixths in GE2Ab
..

In GE2Ab the chords were arbitrarily deprived of the f1 notes, probably by analogy to bars 57-58.

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

a-c1-d1 w As (→A→FE→GE,EEC)

f-c1-d1 in EEW1 (→EEW2)
..

The version with f is most probably a mistake of the engraver of EEW1 (→EEW2).

b. 70-71

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

Two slurs in A (→FE→EE,GE1op,GE1Ab)

One slur in GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2Ab
..

The continuous slur introduced in later GE, in spite of being musically justified, is, however, contrary to the notation of A and the remaining editions.
