Two-voice notation in AI

Single-voice notation in A

FE (→GE,EE)

The fact of rejecting the two-part notation is an example of Chopin's striving for simplicity and economy of the notation, so characteristic for him. At the beginning of bar 60 in FE (→GE,EE), there is no stem combining f to e1, which is almost certainly a mistake.
