There is no pedalling both in As and in AI. Its precise reproduction on the basis of A did not cause major problems to the editors (except for bars 49 and 61-62, which we discuss separately). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |

The relation between the tempos of the opening section of the Waltz (bars 1-32 and analog.) and the following it repeating figurative section (bars 33-64 and analog.) raises doubts. At the 1st transition between the sections (bars 32-33), Chopin did not mark the change of tempo, however, the next two transitions include respective indications in the text – in bar 129 it is tempo primo and in bar 161 – più mosso. It suggests that for the first time the figurative section is to be played slower than for the second and third time. Such a possibility cannot be entirely excluded, yet it seems to be more natural that the section, repeated three times without any changes to the text, is to be played in the same tempo. Therefore, Chopin may have overlooked a respective indication (più mosso) in bar 33. Nevertheless, since the issue of tempo proportions of particular fragments and phrases of the Waltz is more complex, according to us, and a more detailed analysis reveals also other possible explanations of the existing source notations (cf. the note in bar 161), we do not suggest adding this indication in the main text. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in A |

On the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar the triads of the previous autographs – As and AI – were most probably replaced in A (→FE→GE,EE) with sixths (most probably, as the interpretation of A on the available photographs is uncertain). The correctness of the version with sixths is confirmed by the version of the editions in bar 98, marked in A in an abbreviated manner as repetition of bar 34. Admittedly, in bar 162, which is also not written out in A, FE and the majority of the remaining editions include chords, however, it is most probably a mistake. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Uncertain notes on ledger lines |

From bar 35 to the end of this section in bar 64, slurs are written only in A (→FE→GE,EE). A few situations in which the sources differ in the notation of slurs are discussed separately, including the slur of an uncertain range present in AI in bars 49-50, being repetition of bars 33-34. category imprint: Differences between sources |
