b. 2

composition: Op. 28 No. 14, Prelude in E♭ minor

..

This bar is written in the manuscripts as a repetition of the preceding one. Chopin used two /• marks, written on the bottom stave, at the pitch of the parts of each of the hands. It could have suggested that it should be notes only that should be taken into account when writing out the abbreviation, since in b. 1 the dynamic marks are written over the top stave – see the note on them in b. 1.
