b. 48

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

Third in FE1, GE & EE

e1 in FE0
..

There is no c1 on the 2nd crotchet in FE0, probably due to a misinterpretation of the autograph. Chopin added this note in FEG (→GE) and in the base texts to FE and EE.

b. 49

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

d1-e1 in FE

d1-e1-g1 in GE & EE
..

The d1-e1 second in FE is the original version – in FEG (→GE) Chopin added a g1 note to it. Also EE has a completed version with the d1-e1-g1 chord. Therefore, the fact of leaving the original version in FE seems to be Chopin's oversight.

b. 58

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

staccato f2 in FE

d2-f2 in GE, EE & FED
..

On the 3rd crotchet FE has a staccato dot under f2 instead of the d2 note. Chopin corrected this mistake in FEG (→GE), in pencil in FED and in the base text to EE.

b. 76-84

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

Thirds in FE & GE

Sixths in EE
..

On the 2nd and 3rd crotchets in bars 76 and 84 EE has an e-c1 sixth, similarly as in analogous bars 44 and 52. It is most probably an authentic variant introduced into the base text to EE.
