..
As in bar 5 (and 71), the mordent having been placed under b resulted from a routine revision of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2). The misleading version was corrected only just in GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Placement of markings , GE revisions , FE revisions |

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major
..
In the main text we give two motivic slurs visible in A (→GE1): over the R.H. and under the L.H. In FE, the L.H. slur was moved to the note head side, thus becoming a tie. In the editors' opinion this is due to the engraver's mannerism, not the result of Chopin's correction. In EE and GE2 two more slurs were arbitrarily added, one for each hand, and as a result a flat is also sustained in those two editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Placement of markings , GE revisions |

In FE (→EE) a routine transfer of the slur to the side of noteheads changed the unequivocal slur of A1 into a tie of c1. Unlike in b. 65-66, no attempts were taken to correct that mistake. In the main text we give the unequivocal version of A1 and GE. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Placement of markings , Omitted correction of an analogous place |

In FE (→EE) a routine transfer of the slur to the side of noteheads changed the unequivocal slur of A1 into a tie of b. It is noteworthy that in analogous b. 62-63 the same slur of A1 was reproduced in FE correctly, which suggests that the aforementioned place was proofread.

It is unclear what caused the difference in the placement of the accents between GE and FE (→EE). One could assume that each version might be non-compliant with Chopin's notation:
At the same time, it means that each version of notation may be authentic; if FE were based on a second autograph, then even both. In the main text we give the notation of our principal source, i.e. FE, which is also supported by:
In the main text we place the accents above the top stave, as it was performed in FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Placement of markings |
