b. 375-398

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In GC bars 375-432 are notated in an abbreviated form. Instead of notes there are digits written out corresponding to numbered bars 33-90. In b. 375, as an example, G1-G and   g-g1. This notation must have been taken from [A1].

In all the sources bottom notes of octaves are notated in short with the 8 digit symbols. We replace this notation according to modern standards. Cf. in bars 192-199 and 236-240.

b. 573-584

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In GC the bars are marked with consecutive letters from a to m. The letters are then used to mark bars 605-616 in short.

b. 605-616

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In GC these bars are notated in an abbreviated form. Letters referring to accordingly marked bars 573-584 replace the notes here. In b. 605, due to its different connection with the previous bar all notes and rests are written out but without any execution markings. The abbreviation must have alredy existed in [A1], and most probably in the remaining parts of Scherzo.
