No signs in As, AI, AII & AIII

  in A (→FE→GE,EE

All dynamic signs were introduced by Chopin only at the time of preparing the Waltz for publication – they are absent both in As and in the presentation autographs (AI, AII, AIII). In the subsequent notes, we do not discuss the absence of these indications in the aforementioned autographs at all. Similarly in the case of pedalling.
