b. 23-30

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt III

..

In GC the bars are marked as repetition of bars 15-22, which certainly corresponds to the notation of [A]. Only the 1st crotchet in bar 23 and the 2nd half of bar 30 are written out, which differ from their equivalents eight bars earlier.

b. 31-41

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt III

..

In the manuscripts – GC (certainly in accordance with [A]) and Amar – wherever in the part of the L.H. the second half of the bar is the same as the first one, Chopin uses a repetition sign (•/• or / only). The sole exception is bar 31 in GC.

b. 31-38

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt III

..

In GC bars 31-38 are provided with subsequent r-z letters, used then for an abbreviated notation of bars 47-54.

..

Amar includes only eight bars, corresponding to bars 31-38 of the entire Marche. Certain elements of the notation present in this autograph are of no application to the whole (the tempo indication and time signature, the final indications, etc.), whereas the other, appearing in the final version, do not concern the fragmentary version of Amar (the repetition signs at the beginning and end of these bars).

b. 47-54

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt III

..

In [A] (→GC) the return of the first period of the middle section of Marche is written in an abbreviated manner as its repetition. Chopin wrote here only bar lines and subsequent letters of alphabet r-z (without 'w').
