b. 8-24

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

..

In the main text we omit the cautionary  next to d2 in bar 8, present in the sources. Chopin probably feared that b1 at the beginning of the bar may trigger an association with d2. Similarly in bar 24, which in A is marked as a repetition of bar 8.

b. 13-14

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

..

In A one can see deletions in the part of the L.H. Chopin replaced a typical, dance accompaniment of the waltz with a two-bar progression of dyads, most probably in the version written in As.

b. 13-14

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

..

The sharps raising d3(2) to d3(2), overlooked in the manuscripts, were added in FE (→GE,EE). It is a typical inaccuracy of the Chopin notation.

b. 29-30

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

..

In A (→FE→EEW1) there are no naturals raising d3(2) to d3(2). In the remaining sources the mistake was corrected. Cf. bars 13-14.
