b. 112

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

e1 in FE

Third in GE & EE
..

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

issues: Omitted correction of an analogous place

b. 113

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. EE also has the completed version with the d1-e1-g1 chord. Therefore, the fact of leaving the original version in FE must be considered as Chopin's oversight.

b. 117

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

 
 
..

The f2 note on the 4th quaver in FE0 (→FE,GE) must be considered as the engraver's error (overlooked by Chopin): all analogous places have g2. EE has the correct version with g2.

b. 119-120

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

In GE and EE a cautionary natural next to f2 was added, as well as next to f1 in the subsequent bar.

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

f-a-e1 in FE, EE & GE3

f-a-f1 in GE1 (→GE2)
..

GE1 (→GE2) has an erroneous f1 instead of e1 on the 2nd and 3rd crotchet in the L.H. The mistake was corrected only in GE3.
