b. 160

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

No  in A

 under rest in FE (→EE,GE1no2→GE2no2)

 after rest in GE1op (→GE2op→GE3op)
..

The absence of the  sign in A is almost certainly a mistake – in analogous bar 32 a respective sign is written. The addition of a  in FE may be attributed to Chopin's proofreading, although the placement of the sign – under the rest and not after it, as in bar 32 – raises certain doubts, as far as the accuracy of reproducing the composer's intention is concerned. In the main text, we stick to the notation of A in bar 32.

Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Slurs in GE (→FE→EE)

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

When interpreted literally, the slurs of A embrace four quavers and coincide with the fifth one. The first is certainly inaccurate: its shape does not indicate an intention of leading it to G. In the case of the second slur, it is already less obvious, yet a comparison with analogous bars (see bar 159) makes us believe that it is also a possible mistake of the composer. The version of the editions is a result of the schematic approach of the engraver of GE1, convinced of, as it seems, the inaccuracy of the notation of A, which was not justified in this bar.
