b. 1

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

A (→FEEEW1EEW2)

 
..

Chopin dedicated the published Waltz to Countess Delfina Potocka, including an appropriate entry in A (→FE→#EEW; in #EEW her surname was misprinted as "Potacka"). It is unclear why the dedication was overlooked in GE and EEC – in spite of a collective cover for three (in EEC – two) Waltzes, it could have been placed, e.g., on the first page of the note text. In the case of GE, it could have been caused by a possible absence of cover in the proof copy of FE, being the base for GE, since the dedication in FE was placed only on the cover.

In the remaining, presentation autographs of the Waltz Chopin did not place any dedicatory notes.

Amar, the autograph of a fragment of the middle section of Marche, includes only bars 31-38, therefore, it is included in the notes only in these bars.

b. 1-2

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

c & d in As & AI

C & D in A & FE (→GE,EE)

..

In As and AI the bass notes in bars 1-2 are written an octave higher than in the version prepared for print (in A one can see traces of corrections from c to C in bar 1). Lowering bass is one of frequently used interventions by Chopin at the time of elaborating original ideas – cf. bars 14, 32, 39 and 55, 65 and 81, as well as, e.g., the Waltz in D major, No. 1, bars 50 and 77.
