  b. 168-184

No accidental in A (→FE→EEC) – f2

 in bar 40 in AI – f2

 in GE & EEW1 (→EEW2) – f2

Due to the doubts concerning the sound of the last quaver in bars 168 and 184 – it is not entirely certain whether and which of the versions was considered by Chopin to be the final one – we give all possibilities appearing in the sources, in spite of the fact that the version with f2 is present explicitly only in AI, in which after bar 128 there is no return to the first section of the Waltz anymore.

In the main text we adopt an interpretation of A compatible with the valid norm, specifying it with a cautionary . 

See b. 40-56
