Quaver in EE

The version of EE was most probably introduced by Chopin in the base text to this edition. However, an error of the engraver or a revision of the reviser cannot be entirely excluded. Due to this fact, in the main text we give the version of FE0 (→FE,GE), drawn certainly from [A].

b. 237

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

There are no accidentals before the 2nd chord of the bar in FE0 (→FEG). This patent inaccuracy was corrected in FE1 (partially, as only a  before b2 was added) and in GE1 and EE (both necessary naturals). In GE2 (→GE3) the third  before e2 was added.

Our alternative suggestion
..

Three phrase marks were probably added by Chopin in the base text to EE. We give them in the main text as an alternative, suggesting considering the possibility of an inaccurate interpretation of the signs by the engraver.
