  b. 49-50

Dynamic markings in A (→GE→FE→EE)

 added in FED, FEJ, FES

 and  in FEFr

The editors' proposal

We perceive the indication  in bar 50, added by Chopin in the three teaching copies and written into FEFr, to be part of a definitive change of the dynamic concept in several fragments of the Nocturne (cf. bars 25-26, 45-46, 52). The   noted by Franchomme in FEFr naturally supplements that change.
