The sign in A over the 3rd quaver is not entirely legible (similarly in As and AI) – it reminds a rather than a . FE (→EE) includes a , whereas in GE there is no ornament at all, which may suggest that the in FE was introduced in the last proofreading. Taking into account this possibility and clear mordents in AII and AIII, in the main text we give a . Actually, in faster tempos both signs were used by Chopin interchangeably.

The a2 grace notes, as diversification of this phrase, appeared in the notation of the Waltz already after As had been finished (or Chopin did not see the need of adding them to the sketch). The presentation autographs prove Chopin's hesitation concerning the moment of introducing this effect. Starting from AII, the notation of the ornaments was enhanced through the introduction of little slurs combining them with the main notes. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Chopin's hesitations |

In the main text we give the notation of the trills after A (→FE→EE; wavy lines in GE are – despite their compatibility with AI – most probably an arbitrary addition). One could have doubts concerning the fact of marking the four times repeated sign, however, a comparison with the notation of the remaining autographs suggests that all mean the same: a continuous trill throughout four bars. category imprint: Differences between sources |
