In AsI b. 152-167 are then repeated, in spite of the absence of repeat signs. It is a result of two versions of b. 166-167, marked as 1. volta and 2. volta. Repetition (carefully marked) was originally also written in A, in which, however, Chopin removed the repeat sign at the beginning of b. 152 (by erasing double dots, as a result of which a double bar line was left) and crossed out 1. volta of b. 166-167. Cf. the analogous shortening of variation I.
In the content transcription, to keep the parallel course of the version of AsI and the remaining ones, we modify the Chopinesque notation, adjusted to the structure of phrases yet uneconomical – instead of starting the repetition from the beginning of the new phrase in b. 152 (which requires re-writing b. 150-151 as 1. volta of b. 166-167), we insert an opening repeat sign before b. 150 and a closing one after b. 165.
