  b. 48

After the 2nd beat of the bar, AI has a repetition sign, ending the repeated, 16-bar section started on the 3rd beat of bar 32. In order to preserve the parallelism of the notation with the main text based on A (→FEGE,EE), we write out the marked repetition with notes (the original notation is available in the version "transcription"). We apply a similar procedure in the case of As, although in the draft the repetition of bars 33-48 is not marked in any generally adopted way. In this respect, the double bar line after bar 48 can be considered a hint, although it can also be a signal to change the key (which is not marked as well). The imposing symmetry in the proportions of the particular sections of the Waltz can also be considered an argument – two similarly built 32-bar sections, the initial C minor and più lento D major find a natural addition in the separating them section, being also 32-bar long.
