b. 13

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

GE1 and EE have a cautionary  added next to a. The sign was removed in GE2 (→GE3). We also believe that this addition is unnecessary.

GE1 (→GE2→GE3) has a superfluous cautionary  next to b1 in bar 15 and d2 in bar 17.

In FEG (→GE1) there are no accidentals in this bar. A comparison with analogous bars 13, 185 and 193 proves a mistake (probably of the engraver). The remaining sources added the necessary naturals raising D to D and d to d.

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

The cautionary  of d2 in bar 27 occurs in the majority of the sources (the sign was removed only in GE3). It is probably a mistake, while the sign – completely redundant in this place – was supposed to be in bar 28, where it is justified. The  in bar 28 was added in GE1 (→GE2→GE3).
