b. 98-108

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

Shorter  signs in A

Longer  in FE (→FE,EE)
..

Similarly as in bars 33-44 (in the autographs the discussed bars are their literal repetition), we reproduce the range of the  hairpin after A. All editions, in spite of minor, insignificant differences, include signs of the same, six-quaver length.

b. 98-128

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

..

The bars are not written out in any of the manuscripts. In As and AI the notation ends in bar 97, while in As the return to bar 34 is implicit, whereas in AI it is marked as Dal Segno al fine. In A, the next bars are marked with subsequent numerals from 2 to 31, which corresponds to bars 34-63 and bar 64 is written out entirely, probably to facilitate orientation in the abbreviated notation – the continuation of the Waltz is also written in an abbreviated manner.

b. 99-128

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

..

Similarly as in bars 35-64 (in the autographs the discussed bars are their literal repetition), the 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 a non-obvious range present in AI in bars 113-114, being a repetition of bars 33-34.

b. 102-118

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

in As, 1. version

in As (2. version), AI & A (→FE→GE,EE)
..

In As bar 102 is a repetition of bar 38, as a result of which, it also has two versions. The same applies to bar 118, which is not written out in As.
