b. 18

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

A slur in A

No slur in GE (→FE→EE)
..

That slur in A is placed at a certain distance from the notes and obscured with the indication con forza. That is why the engraver of GE could overlook it or even consider it deleted.

b. 18

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

An accent in A (→GE)

The accent is moved to the right in FE (→EE)
..

Placing the accent under the 2nd octave of the motif in FE (→EE) is almost certainly a mistake. We preserve the unambiguous notation of A.

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

Fingering in A (→GE→FE)

No fingering given in EE
..

In EE the fingering number for d flat half through the bar is missing. This is most probably an oversight.
