  b. 28-38

In bars 28-35 and 37-38, Chopin used in Atut an abbreviated notation of the repeated quavers. In FE (→EE,GE1GE2), the abbreviations were explained, like in our system. In bars 28-35, identical abbreviations were re-introduced in GE3. According to us, this compliance is accidental, which is supported by the fact that the notation in bars 37-38 differs – Chopin would use abbreviations to minimise writing, whereas the primary aim of the engraver of GE3 was to save space.
