in A

No marking in remaining sources

The  indication is only in A. According to us, it is highly unlikely that Chopin resigned from it, while proofreading FE  (→GE,EE).

The a2 grace notes, as diversification of this phrase, appeared in the notation of the Waltz already after As had been finished (or Chopin did not see the need of adding them to the sketch). The presentation autographs prove Chopin's hesitation concerning the moment of introducing this effect. Starting from AII, the notation of the ornaments was enhanced through the introduction of little slurs combining them with the main notes.

..

Same as on the previous pages, we remind about the total absence of pedalling in As, AII and AIII. The differing indications between the remaining sources are discussed in separate notes, in bars 66-67 and 69.

Except for pedalling in AI, there are not any performance indications, apart from slurs, in any of the previous autographs.
