No repeat sign in JC & EF

Repeat sign in EF

The repetition of bars 1-24 is marked only in EF. While the repetition of the initial segment of the Polonaise seems to be justified, the way it is notated – beginning the repeated segment at the start of bar 1 and two voltas of final bar 24 – is probably non-authentic.
