No sign in EEW1 (→EEW2)

..

The  hairpin, in A and in the majority of the editions placed under the three-note progression of the bass, was moved to between the staves in GE2op (→GE3op). In this case, this quite frequently used revision completely changed the meaning of the sign. In the remaining GE, the sign was reproduced in the correct place, however, it starts already under the 1st crotchet in the bar. The absence of the sign in EEW is undoubtedly an oversight.

Staccato dot in A (→FE→GE1no2,EEC)

No mark in GE1op (→GE2op→GE3op), EEW1 (→EEW2) & GE2no2
..

The majority of the editions omit a staccato dot written in A (→FE→GE1no2,EEC) above the last L.H. chord. The sign only make sense with the final version of the L.H. part – see note to bars 92-93.

Longer  in A

No sign in EEC
..

Shortening the  hairpin in the editions is most probably a result of an inaccuracy of the engraver of FE. The absence of the sign in EEC is undoubtedly a mistake.

EEC overlooked the slur over the part of the R.H., which is certainly a mistake.

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

..

EEW1 and GE1no2 overlooked the  hairpin. It is probably an oversight (in the case of EEW1 almost certainly – the signs were overlooked also in bars 140-141 and 142-144). The signs were added in EEW2 and GE2no2.
