b. 62-72

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

..

In AI the bars are marked as repetition of the respective fragment from the beginning of the Etude. The indication included between bars 61 and 73 – Da capo al segno Mechetti pedal sign  e poi – interpreted literally, requires repetition of almost the entire 1st part of the piece, including bars 1-19. It means that Chopin either decided to shorten the repetition of the theme only while writing A or did not take enough care of a precise indication of the range of repetition, obvious to him, in the draft AI, written hastily. In mUltimate Chopin we adopt – partly due to practical reasons – the second assumption. Taking into account the fact that bars 9-13 are written more precisely in AI than bars 1-5, we assume that the repetition includes the concise section in bars 9-19 (certainly without g1 at the beginning).

b. 73-74

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

..

In AI, bar 74 is not written out – bar 73 is provided with a 'bis' indication, meaning its double performance followed by bar 75. It slightly complicates the task to determine Chopin's intention concerning, e.g., arrangement of the dim. indication.
