b. 14

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

A slur in GE (→FE→EE)

Possible reading of A
..

The slur in A is written inaccurately. For the edited text we adopt the interpretation of GE (→FE→EE), which may have been accepted by Chopin.

category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness

issues: Inaccurate slurs in A

b. 14

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

No hairpins in A (→GE→EE)

Markings added in EE
..

The dynamic markings of EE are definitely added by the person proofing that edition, who supplemented some performance markings on the basis of analogous fragments.

Wedges in A

Dots in GE (→FE→EE)
..

Both the third g flat2-b flat2 on the 6th quaver of bar 14 and the sixth d2-b flat2 at the beginning of the second half of bar 15 were marked with wedges by Chopin in A. In GE (→FE→EE) the engraver only used dots to mark staccato in this Nocturne.

The numeral marking the sextuplet is missing in FE (→EE1). This inaccuracy was corrected in EE3.
