Repeat sign in AsI

No repeat in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

..

The version of AsI, in which it is also the second part of this variation that was repeated, b. 112-127 (in b. 112 the repeat sign is marked only with an additional double bar line; its meaning becomes clear in b. 127, with two volte), was initially also in A, which can be determined on the basis of the visible corrections – to the right of the double bar line following b. 111, one can see traces of erasure of 4 dots, which, together with that line, constituted a repeat sign. In A, a respective deletion is also at the end of this part, where the 1st volta of b. 127 was deleted.

2 endings in AsI

No repeat in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

..

In AsI, there are 2 versions of this bar – the 1st volta, slightly different from the 2nd volta of b. 111, with a repeat sign at the end, and the 2nd volta, generally compliant with the final text. The repetition of b. 112-127 was initially also present in A, in which, however, Chopin removed it by deleting the bar creating the 1st volta of b. 127 and erasing the 2nd volta marking over the bar containing the ending of the solo part.

Repeat in AsI, contextual interpretation

No repeat in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

..

In AsI b. 152-167 are then repeated, in spite of the absence of repeat signs. It is a result of two versions of b. 166-167, marked as 1. volta and 2. volta. Repetition (carefully marked) was originally also written in A, in which, however, Chopin removed the repeat sign at the beginning of b. 152 (by erasing double dots, as a result of which a double bar line was left) and crossed out 1. volta of b. 166-167. Cf. the analogous shortening of variation I.
In the content transcription, to keep the parallel course of the version of AsI and the remaining ones, we modify the Chopinesque notation, adjusted to the structure of phrases yet uneconomical – instead of starting the repetition from the beginning of the new phrase in b. 152 (which requires re-writing b. 150-151 as 1. volta of b. 166-167), we insert an opening repeat sign before b. 150 and a closing one after b. 165.

b. 165-167

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Repeat in AsI, contextual interpretation

No repeat in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

..

In AsI there are two versions of b. 166-167, marked as 1. and 2. volta, which, in spite of the absence of repeat signs (including the opening one), implies that b. 152-167 are to be repeated. In A these bars are also repeated (the repetition is provided with appropriate repeat signs and with both versions of b. 166-167); however, Chopin removed the repetition in A by crossing out 1. volta and by erasing the 2. volta bracket (incidentally, the crossed-out 1st version is erroneously marked as 2. volta). We reproduce the notation of AsI only in the graphic transcription, whereas in the content transcription, taking advantage of the fact that b. 150-151 and 1. volta of b. 166-167 are identical, we put repeat signs before b. 150 and after b. 165, which allows us to keep the parallel course of the version of AsI and the remaining ones.
