The little vertical line visible in A close to the g1 quaver could be the first of a series of additional crotchet stems prolonging the top notes of the broken L.H. octaves. However, according to us, it is more likely that this series starts from f1, which draws our attention to the harmonic sequence, which becomes more functional from this place on – two perfect cadences in C minor and a modulation to G. The omitted crotchet stem to f1 in the editions is most probably a mistake.
