The repetition, which starts after the second beat of this bar, embraces bars 32-48 in AI. In the remaining sources, there is no repetition sign – in As a repetition of these bars is not clearly marked, whereas in A (→FE→GE,EE) it is written out with notes. category imprint: Differences between sources |

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 (→FE→GE,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

In A Chopin introduced here only a four-flat key signature. He rectified his mistake in the last proofreading of FE (→EE); however, the misleading notation remained without correction in GE.
