..

The range of crescendo is marked in the sources heterogeneously. The shortest hairpins are in A, whereas the longest - in FE. We give the version which complies with the majority of analogous bars.

b. 1

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

In A the sign above the 4th quaver in the L.H. is deleted - it is probably an accent, although it could also have been the head of c1.

b. 1

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

The title and dedication according to GE (→FE)

The title and dedication of A after inclusion of the probable contents of the lost title page for the entire opus

Elements added in EE

..

b. 1

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

A correct metronome marking in A (→GEFE)

A missing dot in EE

..

The metronome marking in FE is printed inaccurately: the '=' sign is missing and the dot extending the value of the crotchet is only visible in some copies. This is perhaps the reason why the dot is missing in the metronome marking of EE.
