b. 276-277

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

accel. in FEG & FE, literal reading

accelerando in GE

accelerando in EE

..

According to us, the accel. indication written by Chopin in FEG should be understood as "over the 1st quaver in bar 277" and not "from the last quaver in bar 276". This is how it was understood in GE and this is the interpretation we adopt in the main text. The entry underlying the version of FE must have looked similarly. We develop the abbreviation used by Chopin, which is used less frequently nowadays; GE and EE already include the full indication.

b. 277-280

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

No marks in FE

Long accents in FEG (contextual interpretation)

Long accents in GE

Short accents in EE

..

The accents written by Chopin in FEG raise doubts as to the type of the used accent and placement with respect to the bottom and upper stave. In the main text we present the most plausible interpretation of the signs written by Chopin in FEG, according to us.

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

 cresc. - - cresc. in FE

 cresc. - - in EE

cresc. - - in FEG (→GE)

..

In the main text we adhere to the dynamic markings written by Chopin in FEG (→GE). In the remaining two first editions cresc. is preceded with a  mark at the beginning of bar 277, which, however, most probably does not indicate a different dynamic concept, as in GE such level of dynamics seems to be most natural after  in bar 273.
