  b. 1-8

In the entire Etude, in all manuscripts some of the repeating figures were written in an abbreviated manner using the // or •/• signs. CDP includes the highest number of such abbreviations, while A – the lowest (they appear only in bar 12, they are absent in bars 1-8). In CDP the abbreviated notation of the part of the L.H. in bars 1-2 is not clear – already the second figure in bar 1 is written as repetition of the first. If interpreted literally, it would mean that the bass note in these bars is eight times A1, which, from the piano interpretation point of view, is inacceptable.
