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].

d in GE1

d in FE (→EE) & GE2

..

The lowering d to d is missing in GE1. It is presumably an error, corrected by Chopin while profreading FE (→EE). The natural was also added in GE2 possibly according to [A].

b. 67

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

in GE

No ornament in FE (→EE)

Our suggestion

..

Discrepancies in the marking of the first ain bar 67 with an ornament should be analysed with taking into account the analogy with bars 71 and 75. In all three places GE has , while in FE (→EE) an ornament () appears only in bar 75. In that context both markings mean the same, yet it is not clear whether Chopin ultimately wanted to change for in bar 75 alone, or also in bars 67 & 71, where it was realised partly due to misunderstanding or oversight. Therefore we supplement the main text with the sign  in parentheses.

b. 67-68

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

stretto in GE

No indication in FE (→EE)

Our suggestion

..

Only GE has stretto in bars 67-68. It is difficult to decide whether it was removed from FE as intended by Chopin during proofreading or omitted by the engraver. For that reason the main text leaves the possible application of stretto up to the performer.

In GE the 3rd L.H. chord is the same as the previous ones. Chopin corrected that in FE (→EE) changing b into a.
