b. 54

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

No articulation mark in GE (→FE→EE)

A possible wedge in A
..

A trace of the pen visible in A over the third g flat2-b flat2 beginning the second part of the bar may be interpreted as a wedge. However, the sign is so illegible that, following the first editions, we omit it from the text.

..

In the figure on the 4th quaver of the bar FE (→EE) has erroneously a semiquaver rest instead of a demisemiquaver rest.

 written in by mistake or by a foreign hand in A (→GE1)

 in FE (→EE), GE2 and GET
..

A (→GE1) has a cautionary  before the upper note of the last sixth of the triplet, instructing us to read that note as c3. This is obviously a mistake, corrected in the proofing of FE (→EE), GE2 and GET.
