b. 128

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

Sixth in A (→FE→EE,GE1no2,GE1op→GE2op→GE3op)

Triad in GE2no2
..

The c1 note, added to the authentic sixth on the 2nd beat of the bar, is an arbitrary addition of GE2no2, aiming at unifying this place with bar 64.
In As the bar is not written out, so we assume that it includes a triad, same as bar 48 and its remaining default repetitions.

b. 129-160

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

..

In As and AI the presence of these bars does not result from the notation – the Waltz ends in bar 128. In A bars 129-152 are not written out with notes, but only marked in an abbreviated manner (with subsequent letters) as a repetition of bars 1-24. At the same time, Chopin overlooked the 'N' letter, corresponding to bar 13 (141); this patent mistake either did not confuse the engraver of FE (→GE,EE) or it was cleverly corrected.

Placement of the  asterisks – see bars 1-32. Bars 131, 132, 142-143, 148, 158 and 160 were discussed separately.

b. 129-130

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

Longer  in A

Shorter  in FE (→GE,EEW1→EEW2)

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.
