b. 25

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

A, FE (→EE1), GET

GE and EE3

..

In A, the third, sixth and ninth semiquavers form a tenor line e flat-d flat-c. That detail was not repeated in GE, which has e flat in all those places. In the proofing of FE (→EE1) Chopin returned to the version of A, the relevant change was also made in GET. The version of GE was introduced into EE3.

Without any slurs in A (→GEFEEE1)

Slurs added in EE3

..

In EE3 slurs in the left hand were arbitrarily added. Those slurs contradict the authentic slurs given in bar 1 as a pattern to be followed throughout the entire Nocturne.

b. 27

No tie sustaining a flat1 in A (→GEFE)

A tie in FED, FES and FEFr, and also in EE

..

The ties written into FED, FES and FEFr point to Chopin’s probable mistake in A. In EE the tie was probably added by analogy with bars 3 and 47

b. 28

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

..

In GE1 (→FE) the slur beginning in bar 27 has no continuation in bar 28 that opens a new line of text. That obvious mistake was corrected in EE and GE2.
