No indication in A (→FE→GE,EE)

in AIII

We do not suggest the leggiero indication, one of two appearing in AIII, in the main text, since in the published version Chopin gave it already at the beginning of the Waltz. Moreover, it is not clear whether it can be considered to be independent from the accompaniment, which in AIII takes the form used in the version of A (→FE→GE,EE) only eight bars later.
