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.

..

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.

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 g1 note in FEG (→GE). In EE the completed version with the d1-e1-g1 is 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.

On the 5th quaver GE1 has an erroneous b3 instead of c4. The mistake was already corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
