In the sources, at the beginning of bar 6, there is a double bar line provided with marks, indicating the place from which the first period of the Minuet should be repeated after bar 37. Chopin did not write bars 38-48 but wrote Dal Segno al Fine at the end of bar 37, directing us to bars 6-16. We reproduce this shorthand notation only in the graphic transcription (the version "transcript"). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE , Abbreviated notation of A , FE revisions |

In the sources the notation of the main part of the Minuet ends in bar 37, followed by a referral to bars 6-16 – Dal Segno al Fine.

These bars (to the repeat sign) are not written out in the sources in this place, but marked as a repetition of bars 6-16 – see the note at the end of bar 37. Therefore, all the differences between the sources and other problematic issues concerning these bars were already discussed in bars 6-16. category imprint: Source & stylistic information |

In both bars Chopin wrote a dotted crotchet rest, which was changed in GE (→FE,EE,IE) to a standard version of notation using a crotchet and a quaver rest. We reproduce Chopin's notation only in the graphic transcription. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

In the sources the repeat sign faces only the left, which, considering the same sign at the end of the movement (bar 80), is a patent mistake. In young Chopin's pieces there are several such inaccuracies – cf. the Polonaise in A, WN 3, bars 13-38 or the Variations in E, WN 5, bars 92-107 – while later pieces are not free from such mistakes either, e.g. the Polonaise in C minor, Op. 26 No. 1, bar 13 or the Polonaise in E minor, Op. 26 No. 2, bar 21. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Differences in form , Inaccuracies in A |
