b. 9-26

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

We add cautionary flats next to d2 in bar 9 and e1 in bar 10, as well as next to the respective notes in bars 25-26. The additions were also performed in GE1 (→GE2→GE3).

b. 10

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

e-g in FE1, GE & EE

B-d-g in FE0
..

On the 2nd and 3rd crotchet FE0 has B-d-g chords. Chopin changed them for the e-g thirds both in FEG (→GE) and in the base texts to FE and EE. Lack of respective change in analogous bar 182 is probably a result of an oversight.

b. 13

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

GE1 and EE have a cautionary  added next to a. The sign was removed in GE2 (→GE3). We also believe that this addition is unnecessary.

b. 17

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

GE1 (→GE2→GE3) has a superfluous cautionary  next to b1 in bar 15 and d2 in bar 17.

b. 21

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

In FEG (→GE1) there are no accidentals in this bar. A comparison with analogous bars 13, 185 and 193 proves a mistake (probably of the engraver). The remaining sources added the necessary naturals raising D to D and d to d.
