b. 142-144

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

..

EEW1 overlooked the  hairpin. EEW2 corrected the mistake only partially, by adding a sign in bars 143-144.

No  in A & EEW1

No pedalling in GE1no2

 &  in remaining sources

 i () suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest a variant solution, as the absence of  in A may be a result of Chopin's uncertainty about the place where the pedal's release should be marked, whereas the authenticity of the addition performed in FE is not entirely sure.

b. 144-145

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

Slur from 5th quaver in A (→FE→EE,GE1op,GE1no2)

Slur from 6th quaver in GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2
..

Shifting the beginning of the slur to the last quaver in bar 144 is a revision of later GE, most probably in analogy to bars 16-17, in which the editions misinterpreted the notation of FE.

g-h in A (probable reading)

d-g-h in As, AI & FE (→GE,EE)

Our variant suggestion

The issue of presence of the d note on the 2nd crotchet in the L.H. in A – see bar 19.

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

2 different length  in A

4 longer  in FE (→GE,EE)

4 shorter  suggested by the editors
..

In bars 147-148 and 151-152 we suggest a  hairpin in the main text, in accordance with the notation of A in analogous bars 3-8 – see the note to bars 19-24. The signs added in bars 147-148 in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE) – probably on Chopin's request – are clearly longer, yet there is no certainty that they were reproduced in full accordance with his intention (inaccuracies in this respect were very frequent and even Chopin himself could have been influenced by the longer signs visible in analogous bars on this page). The longer signs can be, however, considered to be an equal alternative to our suggestion in all four bars.
