A
compare
In A each L.H. note on a ledger line – E, C, E
, F
1 – is provided with a "tail", which, in a relevant context, could be considered an additional crotchet stem pointing downwards. It would make sense in the case of E and F1, but C and E prove that it is simply a writing manner.
Cf., e.g. the Etude in F, Op. 10 No. 8, bars 4-7.
