Issues : Abbreviated notation of A

b. 1-4
|
composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione
..
B. 3-4 are not written out in CJ and CK but marked with a repeat sign after b. 2 and additionally with a slur provided with the indication bis, encompassing b. 1-2. Chopin must have used such a notation in [A2]. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

b. 6-17
|
composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione
..
Wherever possible, A1, CJ and CK used abridged notation to mark repeated accompaniment figures – the / signs were used in the second halves of b. 6-9, 12, 14-15 and 17. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

b. 28
|
composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione
..
In A1 the L.H. part is marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of the preceding bar (•/•). Chopin used an abbreviation also in [A2] (→CJ,CK), yet the notation is inaccurate – two / marks interpreted literally mean a double repetition of the last figure in the preceding bar. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

b. 40-43
|
composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione
..
In CJ and CK b. 40-41 are framed with repeat signs (CK is lacking in the closing one). It certainly corresponds to the notation of [A2], yet it was most probably aimed at saving space only. This notation generates uncertainty as to the placement of rallent. written in these bars. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

b. 48-50

composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione
..
Just like in b. 6-17, in A1, CJ and CK the repeated accompaniment figures are written in an abridged manner. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Abbreviated notation of A |
