b. 8

composition: WN 55, Waltz in F minor

..

In CC, there is no natural next to e1 - it is one of a few mistakes-oversights of the copyist in that source.

In the sources, we encounter two variants of the L.H. differing in the register and the rhythmic value of the a note on the 1st beat: it appears either as a dotted minim in the small octave in AO, AR, AK, F or as a crotchet in the great octave in AE, AG and CC. We consider the version of CX with the a-e1 fifth on the 2nd and 3rd beats to be a patent mistake of the copyist and we add a c1 for a full A major triad.

We add a cautionary flat next to e2 - like in AG (→CY).

The variant of CC with an e2 as the last quaver most probably results from inaccuracy of copying; its authenticity is questionable. The remaining sources feature an f2 in this place.
