b. 143-144

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

d2 in As, FE (→EE,GE1Ab→GE2Ab) & GE2op (→GE3op)

d2 in A & GE1op
..

The absence of a  before the 4th quaver in bar 144 is probably Chopin's mistake (cf. bar 143). The sign is present in As and it was added in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE; in GE1op it was misplaced in bar 143).

b. 146

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

..

In a separate version of GE – GE1Ab (→GE2Ab) – the bottom note of the chord on the 2nd beat is an erroneous c.

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

 in A

No sign in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The missing  hairpin is certainly a defect of FE (→GE,EE).

b. 160-164

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

Four-note chords in A & GE

Three-note chords in FE (→EE)
..

The version of A, repeated in GE through a proof copy of FE, is the original one. In this version in each bar one is supposed to perform two identical four-note chords (as in the previous bars). In the last proofreading of FE (→EE) Chopin deleted some of the notes, lightening the accompaniment and creating an internal melodic line: g–d1–c1–a– etc.

b. 161-165

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

..

In the main text, we add cautionary flats before a1 in bars 161, 163 and 165. All signs were added already in GE1op (→GE2op→GE3op), GE2Ab and EEW2, in turn, in EEW1 only the first two were added, whereas in GE1Ab – only the last one.
