b. 92

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

No dynamic markings in GE (→FE)

added in EE1 (→EE2)

added in EE3
..

Both added in EE1 (→EE2) and in EE3 are definitely arbitrary additions introduced by the revisers of EE copying authentic signs from similar bar 9. However, in this passage they are clearly unjustified for they do not fit different dynamic shape of the phrase in neighbouring bars: in bar 91, and accents in bar 93.

b. 93

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

Accents > in GE (→FE)

Accents ^ in EE
..

In EE, the shape of the last four accents in bar 93 was arbitrarily changed. We adopt the notation of GE (→FE). Cf. bar 69.
