Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 70

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

 in A

 in GE

No hairpins in FE (→EE)
..

The hairpins  in A only relate to the ascending part of the semiquaver motif. The hairpins in GE, extended to the very end of the bar, give a definitely different suggestion for phrasing.  The mark was omitted from FE (→EE), most probably by mistake.

b. 75

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

..

Erasures visible in A over the R.H. part seem to confirm that Chopin removed the earlier markings, including staccato dots over each one of the sixths and two half-bar slurs.
