b. 76-77

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

In GE1 the slur is continued. It must be the engraver's error following from the fact that in the first two great staves on the page, same as in the subsequent ones, the slurs from the previous lines are also continued. The mistake was already corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

e¹ in FE

Third in GE & EE

On the 2nd crotchet in FE0 (→FE) there is no c¹, probably as a result of a misinterpretation of the autograph. Chopin added this note in FEG (→GE) and in the base text to EE.

b. 81

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

d¹-e¹ in FE0 (→FE,FEG→GE1)

d¹-e¹-g¹ in EE & GE2 (→GE3)

The d¹-e¹ second featured in FE and GE1 is the original version, which is proven by the comparison with the remaining four analogous places in bars 49, 113, 173 and 269. In three out of five of these places, Chopin added to it the g¹note in FEG (→GE). In EE the completed version with the d¹-e¹-g¹is present in all five places, which also proves Chopin's proofreading. Therefore, the fact of leaving the original version of the discussed bar in FE and GE1 must be considered as Chopin's oversight.
