b. 103-104

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

 in A

No sign in FE (→EE,GE1op,GE1no2)

Longer  in GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2
..

The absence of  in FE (→EE,GE1op,GE1no2) is certainly an oversight. The sign was added in later GE, placing its beginning 2 quavers earlier.

b. 109-128

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

Shorter  in A

Longer  in FE (→GE,EE)

Similarly as in bars 45-48, the  hairpins in bars 109-112 and 125-128 are only in the version prepared for print and the first of the signs begins in the editions clearly earlier than in A.

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.

In the main text we unify the range of the  hairpins in bars 131-132 and 135-136 on the basis of the notation of A in bar 3 and 7-8. The signs in FE begin earlier and in the remaining editions they were extended even more: in GE1op and GE1no2 on the right-hand side, in the remaining – on the left-hand side.

..

The lack of the  hairpin in the majority of GE is probably a result of an oversight of the engraver of FE, which was then corrected in the very FE (→EE). The sign was added in GE2no2 too. We reproduce the range of the sign on the basis of the notation of A. Cf. bars 3-4.
