The digit added in pencil in FED could have been placed by Chopin and corrected afterwards by Miss O'Méara.

a1 in A
..

A has a  before the last quaver. Chopin deleted it in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). Since a1 was also in all previous autographs, the temporary presence of a1 indicates Chopin's hesitation (unless it is a mistake).

b. 36-37

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

a1 repeated in As, AI, AII, AIII & A (→FE→GE1Db,EE)

a1 tied in GE1op (→GE2op→#GE3op) & GE2Db→GE3Db→GE4Db)
..

In GE1op – probably due to the misunderstanding of the phrase mark running from the a1 crotchet in bar 36 (the 2nd volta) – a tie sustaining this crotchet to a minim in the next bar was added. The erroneous version was repeated in all subsequent GE (also in the majority of the subsequent collective editions of Chopin's works).

b. 36

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

No mark in AI, AII & A (→FE→GE,EE)

Accent in AIII
..

In the version prepared for print Chopin returned to the concept of accentuating the f2 note, yet only in bar 108. The accent (long) has already a different character there, as the note is sustained to the next bar.
