b. 97-98

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

Repeated chord in As (→A→FE→EE,GE1op,GE1Ab)

Tied chord in GE2op (→GE3op)
..

Sustaining the chord at the transition between the bars is certainly an arbitrary revision of GE2op (→GE3op), introduced by analogy to identical bars 93-94. Both autographs prove that Chopin considered the version of bars 93-94 to be a one-off rhythmic diversification of the four-time repeated scheme.

b. 99

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

No slur in A

Slur above chords in FE (→EE,GE1op→GE2op→GE3op) & GE2Ab

Slur (tie) below chords in GE1Ab
..

The slur over the pair of chords could have been added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE. In GE1Ab it was moved under the chords, as a result of which it can be considered to be a tie of f1.

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

..

In A there are no accidentals in the part of the R.H. This patent in this context oversight was corrected in FE (→GE,EE).

b. 105-106

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

 in A

 in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE1op & GE1Ab (→GE2Ab)

 in #GE2 op (→GE3op)
..

In the main text, we give the  hairpin on the basis of A. The versions of the editions are either an inaccurate image of A, as it is in the case of FE (→EE), or a result of a revision unifying similar places – GE2op (→GE3op). In the remaining GE the sign was overlooked.
