Minim a1-a2 in GE

Dotted minim in FE

EE1 (→EE2)

Only a2 with a dot in EE3

The rhythm notation in GE, in which the rhythmic values of both marked voices of the R.H. add up to a dotted minim written in the L.H., is formally correct and makes musical and pianistic sense. There is no reason to doubt its compliance with [A]. Adding in FE (→EE1EE2) of the dots extending the octave a1-a2 is most probably the engraver's fault, as he failed to grasp that the minim d sharp 2 was supposed to sound on the 3rd beat of the bar together with g sharp1-f sharp2-g sharp2. The version of EE3, clearly erroneous, could have originated as a result of an unfinished attempt to restore the version of  GE.
