b. 7-8

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

Hairpins in A

FE (→EE), GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2Ab

No signs in GE1op & GE1Ab
..

The  hairpin is shifted in FE – contrary to A – to the beginning of the bar. In the editors opinion, this is due to inaccuracy. In GE1op and GE1Ab both  and  signs were overlooked in these bars, what later versions of GE supplemented.

b. 10-11

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

 in A (→FE→EE)

No sign in GE
..

The absence of the  hairpin is certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE. The hairpin was overlooked in GE1op and GE1Ab in the entire line, embracing bars 6-11.

b. 17-19

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

 in bars 17-19 in A (→FE→EE) & GE2Ab

No sign in GE1op & GE1Ab

 in bar 18 in GE2op (→GE3op)
..

GE1Ab and GE1op overlooked the  sign. In GE2op (→GE3op) the hairpin was added, but only in bar 18, which is an arbitrary revision.

b. 29-31

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

 in A (→FE→EE)

The lack of the  sign is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE.

b. 72

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

Long accent in As (→A)

 in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The unequivocal long accent, introduced in A over the g1 minim, was placed in FE (→GE,EE) between the staves as a  hairpin. It is most probably an arbitrary decision of the engraver of FE.
