In these bars, the abbreviated notation of the repeating figures (see bars 1-8) appears in all three manuscripts: AI, A, and CDP. In the copy, starting from the end of bar 12, it is the use of up to four variants of the repetition sign that draws attention. According to us, the reason could have been the appearance of such signs, different than the ones used by the copyist, in the copied autograph – the first of atypical for CDP signs appears in the same bar in which a similar sign (with two bars) is written in A.
We consider the notation of A in bar 17 to be inaccurate – see the note to this bar.
