The leggiero indication, written by Chopin in FEG (→GE), was included also in the base texts to FE and EE. In the latter, same as in GE2 (→GE3), the indication was placed between the staves, just after . It is probably the editor's revision.

b. 216-217

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

The placement of crescendo differs slightly in particular sources. In FEG Chopin added cresc. under the last quaver in bar 216, and this is how it was reproduced by the engraver of GE1. In the next editions, GE2 (→GE3), the indication was moved slightly to the left, starting on the last quaver in bar 216. In EE the word crescendo was divided into syllables, which is a characteristic revision of the editor, and it was started at the end of bar 216. In the main text we adopt the indication of FE1, beginning in bar 217.
