in EEW1 (→EEW2)

..

The dedication, both in A and in FE (→EEW1EEW2), determines the same person – baroness Charlotte de Rothschild, Nathaniel's wife. In the main text, we give an expression used in FE, being the official way of presenting a married woman in France. It is unclear why the dedication was left out in GE and EEC – in spite of a collective cover for three (in EEC two) Waltzes, it could have been placed, e.g., on the first page of the note text. In the case of GE, the reason could have been a possible absence of cover in the proof copy of FE, being the basis for GE, since the dedication was placed in FE only on the cover.

As does not include either the title or the dedication. The dedication is also absent in AI, although it is known that the autograph was offered to baroness de Rothschild.

b. 5-6

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

 in A & GE3op

No sign in FE (→EEC,EEW1,GE1no2,GE1opGE2op)

Shorter  in GE2no2 & EEW2

..

The absence of the  hairpin is certainly an oversight of the engraver of FE. The sign was added in GE3op and – in a shortened form – in GE2no2 and EEW2.

b. 8-24

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

..

In bars 8 and 24 there are no accidentals in the part of the L.H. in the autographs. In bar 8 FE added – perhaps at Chopin's request – a cautionary  before d, which was repeated in all editions. In GE and EEW2 a similar addition was performed in bar 24.

b. 24

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

..

The  sign was overlooked in EEW1, which is certainly an error. The sign was added in EEW2.

b. 29

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

 before 3rd beat in A

 after 3rd beat in FE (→GE1no2) & GE2op (→GE3op)

 on 3rd beat in GE1op, EE & GE2no2

..

In FE and in a part of the remaining editions, the  sign was placed same as in the remaining bars, after the 3rd crotchet. The fact of moving the sign under the crotchet may be considered to be a revision or inaccuracy of GE1op, EE and GE2no2. Similarly in bar 31.
