The way the 3rd quaver in the bar was written down in A is unclear – one can see a protrusion before the c
3 minim, resembling a quaver notehead at the same pitch, while the presence of an a2 quaver is unobvious, since the protrusion of the stem indicating the presence of a notehead is imperceptible. Consequently, in GE (→FE,EE,IE) both voices coincide on c3, while a2 is totally absent. In the main text we provide a different interpretation of the A notation – we consider the c3 quaver a remaining element of the initial version (or erroneous) of notation without the note having been prolonged, while in the bottom voice we put a2, which – as resulting in a more natural melodic sequence in this voice – is, according to us, written here.
