...contain bits and pieces written for another Sondheim musical that was ultimately discarded?

Not to my knowledge. For a time, Sondheim planned to include a waltz that he'd written back in the 1950s, when they were hoping to get the rights to Ring Round the Moon (which they again tried to do after Follies). That was to have been where "Night Waltz" ultimately was. A bit of the "trio" (as the term is sometimes used in classical sense as the middle, contrasting section of a dance such as a minuet) of that waltz ended up in the trio section of the "Night Waltz." Perhaps you're thinking of that? Anyway, all the music in the overture is from the show.

Yes, RING ROUND THE MOON was what I was thinking of. Thanks! n/m

Really, just a few bars from the trio of that "French waltz" ended up in the "Night Waltz."
