Shouldn't the repeat be octave higher?

[@LetsPlayPianoMethods]

I assume you are referring to the DC. There is no indication in the music to play it an octave higher, but since it is an arrangement, after you learn it the way it is written, you can take the right hand up an octave if you want.

@@LetsPlayPianoMethods it says "2nd time both hands 8va". Can you clarify if this is optional? I mean when should/shouldn't we obey that?

[@DavetheIV]

@@jjsridharan Yes, I see where your correct instruction is. I'm confident that you have the correct understanding & application.

[@aritina8379]

@@jjsridharan always obey the score

​@@jjsridharan
Maybe in the older edition of the book there was no 8va?
The one I'm using has that indication, but the piece is on page 85, not 53.
