b. 90

composition: Op. 64 No 3, Waltz in A♭ major

..

In A Chopin overlooked the  lowering b to b (the sign is present in As). A similar mistake was committed in GE1Ab too.

b. 91

composition: Op. 64 No 3, Waltz in A♭ major

..

In A there is no cautionary  before a. In this context, it must be considered an oversight, particularly taking into account the fact that the sign was written in As. A natural was added in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE).

b. 93-98

composition: Op. 64 No 3, Waltz in A♭ major

..

The notation of the accidentals in this fragment of A is inaccurate – there is not any flat lowering e2(1) to e2(1) in bars 94, 96 and 98. It is probably an echo of the draft notation of As, which is not only devoid of flats, but it includes naturals before e1 in bars 93 and 97. The signs were added in FE (→GE,EE).

b. 93-102

composition: Op. 64 No 3, Waltz in A♭ major

No signs in A (→FE→EE,GE1op,GE1Ab→GE2Ab)

 in GE2op (→GE3op)
..

The  hairpins, added in GE2op (→GE3op), in bars 93-94 and 101-102 is a revision aiming at unifying all four similar places (cf. bars 105-106).

b. 95

composition: Op. 64 No 3, Waltz in A♭ major

No slur in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The slur in the L.H. was added – probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE).
