b. 123

composition: Op. 64 No 1, Waltz in D♭ major

Mark of synchronization in FED

No mark in remaining sources
..

The sign added in FED, indicating the manner of synchronising the grupetto in the R.H. with the accompaniment in the L.H., means that the first 18 notes of the grupetto are to be understood as quaver triplets, whereas the last six – as normal quavers, as in bars 35 and 107. It is unknown whether it was the only performance option accepted by Chopin.

e tied in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The ties of the e bass note were added, certainly by Chopin, in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). In bar 124, opening a new line of text, in FE, there is no ending of the tie from the previous bar, which is a common mistake in the case of ties without influence on the understanding of notation.
