b. 70-88

composition: Op. 28 No. 15, Prelude in D♭ major

..

Some four-quaver groups of repeating notes are written down in the sources as minims marked with a quaver tremolo. Such a notation is in A (→FCGE) in b. 70, 72-74 and 85-88 and in the 2nd halves of b. 71 and 84 and the 1st half of b. 75. In FE (→EE) the abridged notation was kept only in b. 70.

b. 71-85

composition: Op. 26 No 1, Polonaise in C♯ minor

..

In A bars 71-85 are written in an abbreviated manner as numbered (1-15) empty bars, corresponding to repeated bars 39-53. Due to this reason, all differences in the editions between analogous places of both groups of bars are almost certainly incompatible with Chopin's intention and they result from inaccuracies of his corrections or oversights of the engravers.

b. 73-74

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

..

In AI, bar 74 is not written out – bar 73 is provided with a 'bis' indication, meaning its double performance followed by bar 75. It slightly complicates the task to determine Chopin's intention concerning, e.g., arrangement of the dim. indication.
