Dotted minim & semibreve in A

Dotted minim & minim in FE

Two minims in GE & EE

The engraver of FE probably assumed that lack of stem combining A and e is an example of inaccurate notation, quite often found in Chopin's autographs. In GE and EE the notation was simplified even more, omitting the point extending the bass note A. In the main text we give the precise notation of A.
