In Ap the rhythmic values of subsequent two-note chords of the lower voice in the R.H. create in those bars (as well as in subsequent repetitions) an alternating short-long scheme (semiquaver-crotchet). Sometimes the resounding length contrast is additionally underlined with accents. In the main text we give the homogenous, as far as the sound is concerned, version of FE (→GE,EE). The last chords in bars 19, 21 and 23 are discussed separately due to differences in the number of sounds, and in bars 20 and 22 – due to their relation to the accents.
