Repeated notes in As, AI & A (→FEEE)

Tied notes in GE & FED

The sources indicate Chopin's hesitations, as far as repeating or sustaining the same notes at the transition between bars 66-67, 70-71, 76-77 and 92-93 is concerned. Ties are present in GE (perhaps added by Chopin in the proofreading of GE1) and in FED (probably written with his hand). In GE there are also ties of d3 in bars 75-76 and 91-92, yet their absence in FED proves that they were either added by the reviser of GE1 or that Chopin resigned from them. Two preserved pupil's copies with traces of elaborating the Waltz suggest that Chopin accepted both possibilities in the performance of pupils. In the main text, we give the version with repeated notes, present in the base sources; in turn, the version with ties, written in FED, can be considered an equal variant.
