  b. 127-130

In A the bars are marked briefly as a repetition of bars 3-6. Initially, the brief notation embraced also bar 131 (7), which, however, was then written out with notes, whereas the part of the R.H. is almost completely illegible on the available photocopy. It is hard to state what the reason of adding bar 131 was, since it differs from bar 7 only in the absence of the  hairpin. Chopin may have still hesitated what shape the melody in this bar should have.
