  b. 10-15

In A these 6 bars are written in an abbreviated form, being the repetition of bars 2-7. In bar 10 Chopin additionally wrote the notes of the part of the R.H., perhaps in order to facilitate the identification of the bar from which the copying should start. In "empty" bars 10-15 Chopin wrote exact hints like "as the 2nd bar of the beginning," yet he did not number the written out bars 2-7. The numeration written in pencil (the digits from 1 to 5 both over bars 3-7 and 11-15), probably by the engraver, proves that Chopin's description was not sufficient.
