b. 19

composition: Op. 27 No 1, Nocturne in C# minor

No markings in GE (→FE)

Dots in EE
..

We supplement portato dots over e2 crotchets. Dots are found in all the analogous bars, therefore we may regard their absence here as Chopin's inadvertence. The signs were already supplemented in EE.

EE is the only source in which the crescendo marking appears. It is certainly a revision by analogy with bar 7, first of a few of this kind (bars 20, 23, 24, 86 & 90).

EE is the only source in which the crescendo marking appears. It is certainly an arbitrary addition by analogy with bar 7.
