Arrangement of voices in A

Arrangement of voices in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

In the main text we provide the L.H. part as written by Chopin in A. GE (→FE,EE,IE) arbitrarily changed the layout of the quaver beams and flags to make it symmetrical with the R.H. part. According to us, the notation used in the editions, although inauthentic, seems to be better suited for the representation of the organisation of voices in this place, in particular emphasising the sequence in the bass as a separate voice is more natural than emphasising the tenor voice.
