composition: Op. 28 No. 2, Prelude in A minor

In As Chopin uses abbreviations to write the L.H. part – b. 2 is marked with a slur over b. 1, which is written out. In turn, to indicate that b. 3 is a repetition of b. 2, Chopin inserted a conventional / mark. A slur as a repeat mark, often accompanied by bis, was frequently used by Chopin – cf., e.g. Lento con gran espressione WN37, b. 3-4. Abbreviations are also present in A (→FC) – •/• marks replace b. 2 and the second half of b. 3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Abbreviated notation of A |
