  b. 3-10

In As the notation of the L.H. part is incomplete from this moment on – in b. 4-7 and 8-10 the notation is totally or partially lacking:

  • At the beginning of b. 4 and 9, a single note of indefinite pitch is written (resembling a crotchet). It is most probably a B in b. 4 and an f [f] in b. 9, which probably indicates a certain form of continuation of the figuration defined in previous bars, perhaps similar to the one featured in those bars in the final version.
  • The empty 2nd half of b. 8 is almost certainly to be filled with a repetition of the 1st half, which results from the analogy to b. 3. Chopin did not write a repeat sign, since at this point of the Prelude a sequential repetition of the 1st phrase leaves no doubt as to the accompaniment.
