  b. 97-119

In A bars 97-107 and 113-119 are written in an abbreviated manner as repetition of bars 25-35 and 25-31 respectively. Chopin used empty bars, provided with subsequent letters of alphabet, however, he introduced a dynamic hairpin. In the first section it coincides exactly with the one present in bars 25-53, yet in the second it does not. The engraver of FE did not understand it or ignored it, as he did not include the signs that were written here – see bars 113-116 and 117-118.
