Repetition in A, contextual interpretation

No repetition in A, literal reading (→FEGE,EE)

Our variant suggestion

In the editions there is no sign opening the repetition, yet in A in bar 68 its ending was marked. Chopin either wanted to repeat bars 21-68 but he forgot to indicate it in bar 21 or just the opposite – the sign in bar 68 was added erroneously and the repeated fragment should not be repeated. FE (→GE,EE) do not include any repeat sign in these bars, which can, yet does not have to, indicate Chopin's proofreading. As the main text we give the version of the basic source, i.e. FE2, with a footnote indicating a possibility of repetition. Cf. the Polonaise in C minor, No. 1, bar 54.
