b. 1-22

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

..

In GC bars 1-14 are provided with subsequent numbers, used then for an abbreviated indication of bars 55-68. Similarly bars 15-22 are marked with a-h letters, used then for an abbreviated notation of bars 23-30, 69-76 and 77-83.

b. 2-5

In GC bar 2 (the entire bar except for the slur) and bar 5 (part of the L.H.) are written in an abbreviated manner with a /sign. The notation is certainly repeated after [A]. Similar abbreviations appear also in bar 8 and 12-13.

b. 8

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

..

Same as bars 2, 5 and 12-13, in GC bar 8 is written in an abbreviated manner with / signs (one on each stave). The interpretation of this notation, undoubtedly repeated after [A], turned out to be not entirely clear – see bars 7-8.

b. 12-13

..

Same as in bars 2, 5 and 8, in GC the repeating fragments of these bars – parts of both hands in bar 12 and part of the L.H. in bar 13 – are marked in an abbreviated manner with /• signs. The interpretation of this notation, certainly repeated after [A], is not entirely clear – see bars 11-13.

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.
