b. 124

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

Arpeggio sign in PE1 (→GE)

Arpeggio sign in PE1 (→GE)

No sign in PE2 (→PE3→PE4)
..

The missing arpeggio in PE2 (→PE3→PE4) is a side effect of ordering the notation of clefs at the beginning of this bar, which in PE opens a new page of text (see the note above).

The  indication was added in PE2 (→PE3→PE4) probably as a correction of the oversight by the engraver of PE1 (→GE). According to us, however, it is more likely that the indication entered into [A] was , and not :

  • Chopin would use  only in exceptional cases,
  • publishers had problems with deciphering  as a less popular form of this indication (on a number of occasions, it was replaced with , while in the Variations in B, Op. 12 an uncommon zf abbreviation was used a few times).

No marks in PE1 (→GE)

Wedges in PE2 (→PE3→PE4)

The wedges for the 1st crotchet were most probably overlooked by PE1 (→GE), which was rectified by adding them in PE2 (→PE3→PE4). Cf. the note on / below.

The version of GE and our main text are two alternative ways of correcting the wrong version of PE, in which it is only a  mark that is present in this bar, without the corresponding  mark.
