Sorry, this is completely wrong and misleading. The German "bis" has noting to do with the Latin "bis" (twice), and op. 24 bis does NOT imply any future change of numbering. Furthermore, the German "bis" may refer to space, not only to time, and when applied to time, it doesn't have to mean "to date" (if you mean "up to now") - it may refer to a moment in the future ("bis morgen!" - "see you tomorrow!"). Folks, do you really have to make wild guesses which turn out to be dead wrong and make no sense at all??? -Margaret Mikulska
