Slurs

b. 70-71

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

Two slurs in A (→FE→EE,GE1op,GE1Ab)

One slur in GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2Ab
..

The continuous slur introduced in later GE, in spite of being musically justified, is, however, contrary to the notation of A and the remaining editions.

b. 90-91

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

No slur in As (→A) & GE1Ab (→GE2Ab)

Slur in FE (→EE,GE1op→GE2op→GE3op)
..

In the main text we include an additional slur of c2-b1, probably added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE. The sign was overlooked, probably accidentally, in GE1Ab (→GE2Ab).

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).

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.

b. 121-122

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

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.
