Notation in FE (→EE)

GE

For the octave occurring in the middle of bars 6, 10 and 20 we adopt the two-part notation of GE, corresponding to the notation of bar 8 and analog., as our main text. The notation of FE (→EE), economical to the maximum, is very Chopin-like in its simplicity and therefore definitely authentic, yet probably earlier (cf. the note concerning bar 26).
