To write down these bars in A, Chopin used repeat marks – / to mark the L.H. part in the 2nd half of b. 1 and •/• in b. 2. In FC repeat marks were used only in b. 2. The highest number of repeat marks is to be found here in FCI – all those visible in A as well as / instead of the R.H. part in the 2nd half of b. 1. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

The majority of the groups of repeated quavers were written in A (→FC→GE) as dotted crotchets provided with quaver tremolos. In A this is how the L.H. in the 2nd half of b. 4, 5, 7, 10-13 and 18 and the R.H. in the 2nd half of b. 10 were marked. A similar situation occurs in FC (→GE) – except b. 18. Such notation is not observed at all in FCI. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

As before, in A (→FC→GE) the majority of the groups of repeated quavers were written as dotted crotchets or minims provided with quaver tremolo marks. In A this is how the L.H. in b. 32-33 and in the 2nd halves of b. 27-31, 36-37 and 42 and the R.H. in the 1st half of b. 32 and in the 2nd halves of b. 27, 29, 31, 33-34 and 42 were marked. There is a similar situation in FC (→GE) – except b. 36, while in GE also except b. 27. In addition, in FC (→GE1) the tremolo beam in b. 33 was overlooked – see the note in that bar. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: GE revisions , Abbreviated notation of A , Errors of FC |
