b. 109

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

No indication in A & GE

in FE (→EE)
..

The sostenuto indication was added – certainly by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE (→EE). The lack of the indication in GE suggests that it was the last proofreading, not included in GE.

b. 109

composition: Op. 25 No 5, Etude in E minor

Lombard rhythm in FC (→GE) & EE

Quavers in FE
..

No traces of corrections do not allow to indicate which rhythm is later, while from the stylistic point of view, both versions seem to be equal. In the main text, we give the version of the base source, i.e. FE.
In FC, there is no dot extending the last note in the R.H., which was corrected in GE.
