b. 5-22

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

Slur over pair of sixths in AI & A

Two slurs in FE (→EE)

Slur e1-d1 in GE1no2 & GE1op (→GE2opGE3op)

Slur c2-b1 in GE2no2

..

Both slurs over the pair of minims in bars 5-6 and 21-22 in A are clearly longer than in bars 1-2 and 17-18. Similarly in AI (only in bars 5-6, since Chopin overlooked the slur for the second time), hence these are the slurs we give in the main text. Double slurs in FE are probably a result of Chopin's proofreading – initially, the engraver of FE combined with a slur only the bottom notes of the sixths, which led the composer to add upper slurs (the original state was preserved in the majority of GE). According to us, the correction is occasional and it rather confirms the importance of a slur over the notes than proves a change of the slurring concept. Similarly in bars 133-134 and 149-150.

b. 88

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

 in A (→FEEEC)

 in GE1op & GE1no2 (→GE2no2)

No sign in EEW1 (→EEW2)

 in GE2op (→GE3op)

..

The  hairpin, in A and in the majority of the editions placed under the three-note progression of the bass, was moved to between the staves in GE2op (→GE3op). In this case, this quite frequently used revision completely changed the meaning of the sign. In the remaining GE, the sign was reproduced in the correct place, however, it starts already under the 1st crotchet in the bar. The absence of the sign in EEis undoubtedly an oversight.
