b. 173

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

Shorter  in A

Longer  in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Similarly as in bars 45-48, in the main text we give the range of the  hairpin in bars 173-176 on the basis of A.

b. 173-174

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

 in bar 174 in A, GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2

 in bar 173 in FE (→EE,GE1op,GE1no2)
..

The discrepancy in the placement of the  sign between A and FE is, according to us, a result of a mistake at combining the written out bars with their numerated repetitions – the shorter pedal of FE is compatible with the authentic pedalling in bars 189-190. In the main text, we stick to the version of A. The changes in later GE were introduced most probably by analogy to bars 45-46 and 109-110 (see also bars 189-190).

b. 173-189

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

a-d1 twice in A & GE

a-d1-a1 only in bar 173 in FE (→EEC)

a-d1-a1 twice in EEW1 (→EEW2)
..

Same as in four previous analogous places, in bar 173 Chopin added an a1 note in the last proofreading of FE (→EE). We consider the absence of a respective addition in bar 189 to be an oversight (of the composer or the engraver), although a possibility of intentionally leaving the last repetition of this phrase in a slightly different form cannot be, obviously, excluded. It was considered to be a mistake already by the reviser of EEW1 (→EEW2).

b. 182-183

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

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

One slur in GE2no2
..

Same as in bars 54-55, combining the slurs in GE2no2 is a revision contrary to the Chopin notation.

b. 188

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

Pedalling in A, EEW2, GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2

No markings in FE (→GE1op,GE1no2,EEC,EEW1)
..

The absence of pedalling in a part of the editions is undoubtedly a consequence of an oversight of the engraver of FE.
