Rhythmic notation in FE (→EE)

GE

Our suggestion

The octave separated with longer rhythmic values in the middle of bars 40, 44 and 48 is written on one stem, which follows the notation of the octaves in similar figures in bar 8 and analogous. The notation of GE, suggesting that the octave is a quaver, is most probably an attempt to recreate the following notation of [A2]: . In FE (→EE) a probably earlier authentic version of the octave's notation was presented.
