In GE the arrangement of notes in the left hand not always strictly maintains the rhythmic correlation with the part of the right hand: the 6th note in bar 35 is placed under the two-note chord of the triplet in the right hand (evidently against the notation of A). The 4th and the 6th note in the 2nd half of bar 36 are also imprecisely placed. Cf. bars 38-39.
