b. 9-12

composition: Op. 28 No. 20, Prelude in C minor

13 bars in A (→FC→GE, →FE→EE), #ASch & CGS

9 bars in AB
..

Initially, the Prelude had only 9 bars, which is proven by the footnote in A according to which b. 9-12 were added at the suggestion of certain "Mr. xxx." The Prelude in its initial, 9-bar form can be found in AB, written a year after the entire Op. 28 had been finished.
In A (→FC) the discussed bars are marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 5-8 (mentioning the different dynamics).
