Issues : Abbreviated octaves' notation

b. 59-60

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

No octaves in  A (→GEFEEE)

Two octaves in FED and FEJ

Three octaves in FES

The editors' variant proposal

..

In the three teaching copies, the bass notes in  bar 59 were doubled with lower octaves. In FES the octave progression is consistently brought to the beginning of bar 60. In our opinion this means that Chopin considered the version with the octaves at least equivalent to the version of A (→GEFEEE), in which single notes appear.

in CLI

Octave in FE (→GE,EE)

..

Lack of the lower octave in CLI may be a consequence of an oversight, however, due to a different version of the subsequent bar, it is not entirely sure. In FE the octave is written in an abbreviated form.

The version of CLI is definitely original. In the main text we give the more subtle version of FE (→GE,EE; in EE2 without the tie sustaining E).
