b. 189-192

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

Longer  in A

Shorter  in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE
..

The absence of the sign in GE most probably means that it was originally absent also in FE, in which it was however added – perhaps by Chopin – in the last stage of proofreadings of FE. In the main text we give the sign written in A in these bars, slightly longer than in the previous appearances of this phrase.

b. 189-190

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

One-bar pedal in A (→FE→GE1op,GE1no2,EE)

Two-bar pedal in GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2
..

Similarly as in bars 61-62, in later GE the pedalling in bars 189-190 was changed after bars 45-46.

b. 192

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

 before rest in A

 under rest in FE (→EE)

 after rest in GE1op (→GE2op→GE3op) & GE2no2)

No pedalling in GE1no2
..

We give the moment of the pedal's release in the main text after A. Minor shifts of  in the editions, particularly in GE, may suggest, taking into account the context, i.e. the end of the piece, a longer dying out of the sound, probably contrary to the intention of Chopin. The absence of indications in GE1no2 is undoubtedly an oversight.
