b. 117

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

No mark in the sources

Accent suggested by the editors
..

At the return of the main theme (bars 109-140), Chopin provided the last crotchet of the bars opening new phrases with an accent, in every place where they were written out. Therefore, it seems to be highly likely that the accent is to be applied also here and that its absence is an oversight of Chopin, resulting from the use of the brief notation of certain fragments.

No pedal change in A

Pedal change in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The pedalling of FE (→GE,EE) is certainly erroneous.

Slur in A (→FE→EE)

No slur in GE
..

The missing slur in the L.H. in GE is most probably a result of an inaccuracy of the engraver of FE, who overlooked this sign (A is poorly legible in this place due to deletions). In the last proofreading of FE (→EE), the slur was added, probably by Chopin.

e1 not tied in A

The missing tie of e1 may be Chopin's mistake.

In A the bars are written briefly in the form of numbered bars, corresponding to bars 3-6, which are supposed to be repeated here.
