b. 142-143

..

GE1no2 overlooked the  sign in bar 142 and both signs in bar 143. It is almost certainly a mistake.

b. 143

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

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. 148

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

Pedalling in A (→FE→EE,GE1op,GE1no2→GE2no2)

No pedalling in GE2op (→GE3op)
..

The lack of pedalling in GE2op (→GE3op) is probably a result of a revision unifying bars 132 and 148.

b. 160

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

No  in A

 under rest in FE (→EE,GE1no2→GE2no2)

 after rest in GE1op (→GE2op→GE3op)
..

The absence of the  sign in A is almost certainly a mistake – in analogous bar 32 a respective sign is written. The addition of a  in FE may be attributed to Chopin's proofreading, although the placement of the sign – under the rest and not after it, as in bar 32 – raises certain doubts, as far as the accuracy of reproducing the composer's intention is concerned. In the main text, we stick to the notation of A in bar 32.
