b. 13

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

A short accent in GE (→FE→EE)

Our suggestion—a long accent
..

The first editions do not have any long accents other than the marks in bars 11 and 83 that could be interpreted as such. It is almost certain that this does not correspond to the notation of [A], as that type of accent belonged to Chopin's favourite markings. In the outer sections of the Nocturne, we propose long accents in the main text instead of short ones that appear in the editions, as we consider the former to be much more probable than the latter.

b. 14

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

C sharp in GE(→FE), EE3

Erroneous A1 in EE1 (→EE2)
..

At the beginning of bar 14, EE1 (→EE2) has A1 in the L.H. The error was corrected in EE3.

E in GE1

C in FE (→EE) & GE2


 
..

GE has E as the 6th quaver. Chopin corrected this error in FE (→EE). The correct version is also found in GE2 supplemented probably on the basis of [A].

b. 15

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

No sign in GE (→FE)

With an accent in EE
..

An accent appearing in EE is definitely an inauthentic addition echoing the sign in analogous bar 11.
