composition: Op. 64 No 1, Waltz in D♭ major

..

In the main text we include the fingering written in pencil in the first three bars of FED; it probably comes from Chopin.

b. 1

composition: Op. 64 No 1, Waltz in D♭ major

Tempo di Valse in As

Vivace in AI, AII & AIII

Molto vivace in A (→FE→GE,EE)
..

One can ponder whether three versions of the tempo indication of the Waltz reflect actual changes in the concept of performing the piece or whether they are only a proof of making the expression defining the tempo and the general character of the piece more precise. The editors of mUltimate Chopin tend toward the second possibility.

leggiero in A (→FE→GE,EE)
 
..

The presentation autographs do not include the leggiero indication which Chopin introduced only at the time of preparing the Waltz for print. Cf. bar 21.

Long accent in A

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In A Chopin undoubtedly wrote a long accent. In all editions and impressions of the Waltz, a short accent was placed.
