b. 17-18
The differing abbreviated notation of AI and A could suggest that in the latter all four E notes are supposed to have normal ("big") note heads. According to us, the notation of A, despite being simplified, is to be, however, interpreted in accordance with AI – in A we see the same abbreviation also in bar 36, in which the distinction of only the first A is beyond any doubt. Similarly in bar 19.
In GE1 (→GE1a), the first F in bar 18 is written as a small note. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
