In AsI the L.H. part is marked in an abridged manner with the word unisono, written in every bar. The alternative L.H. part is written on the same stave, which we change for better legibility of the transcription: we separate the parts by placing the alternative one on an additional stave, as was performed by the other sources. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

In AsI the L.H. part is marked in an abridged manner with the word unisono, written in each bar. The alternative L.H. part is written on the same stave, which we keep in the graphic transcription ("transcript"). In the content transcription, the abridged notation of the L.H. demisemiquavers was elaborated (they were written out), while the alternative accompaniment was placed on an additional stave, as in the other sources. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

b. 165-167

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
In AsI there are two versions of b. 166-167, marked as 1. and 2. volta, which, in spite of the absence of repeat signs (including the opening one), implies that b. 152-167 are to be repeated. In A these bars are also repeated (the repetition is provided with appropriate repeat signs and with both versions of b. 166-167); however, Chopin removed the repetition in A by crossing out 1. volta and by erasing the 2. volta bracket (incidentally, the crossed-out 1st version is erroneously marked as 2. volta). We reproduce the notation of AsI only in the graphic transcription, whereas in the content transcription, taking advantage of the fact that b. 150-151 and 1. volta of b. 166-167 are identical, we put repeat signs before b. 150 and after b. 165, which allows us to keep the parallel course of the version of AsI and the remaining ones. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Errors of A , Deletions in A , Changed phrase length |

b. 176-180
|
composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
The repetition of b. 176-183 is written out in full in AsI, and not marked with repeat signs, as it was performed in the remaining sources. In order to keep the uniform numbering of bars, compliant with the version intended for publication, the bars making up the second presentation of b. 176-182 were not included in the systemic numbering; in the notes we define them as b. 176'-182'. We mark the two versions (volte) of b. 183 as b. 183(1v) and 183(2v), also with respect to AsI. Consequently, nominally, page 33 of the scan of AsI includes only b. 183, in spite of the fact that b. 183(1v) and 176'-181' are written down on it, whereas page 34 encompasses b. 184-188, in spite of the fact that b. 182' and 183(2v) are written down before b. 184. In the transcriptions of AsI – graphic (transcript) and content (edited text) – it is the first record of b. 176-182 in this source that is presented as b. 176-182, in accordance with the assigned numbering, whereas the transcriptions of the second record (b. 176'-182') can be seen on an additional page, available via the following links: Wherever in AsI any of the bars of the second record presents a version that is different from the remaining ones, we provide it among the variants of the respective bar of the first record. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations |
