EE has an accent here

The editors' suggestion

..

Absence of an accent in A (→GEFE) in the last one of the 5 analogous motifs may be regarded either an inaccuracy or a nuance connecting the motif accentuation with the diminuendo. In our opinion the first option is more probable, and therefore we suggest supplementing that sign. The accent was already added in EE.

b. 71-73

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

..

In EE, a cautionary  was added before the 5th semiquaver g flat2, probably by analogy with bar 73.

Pedalling of bars 74-77 in A

 added in GE1

 added in FE

 added in EE

 moved in #FE2

..

We give the pedalling of A (a single pedal depression from bar 74 to the end). Subsequent supplementations in GE1, FE and EE and the change in GE2 are most probably made by reviewers. FE has an ad-hoc correction of the GE1 version, as that version was contrary to Chopin's intentions.

Slurs in  A (→GE1)

EE and GE2

..

In the main text we give two motivic slurs visible in A (→GE1): over the R.H. and under the L.H. In FE, the L.H. slur was moved to the note head side, thus becoming a tie. In the editors' opinion this is due to the engraver's mannerism, not the result of Chopin's correction. In EE and GE2 two more slurs were arbitrarily added, one for each hand, and as a result a flat is also sustained in those two editions.
