  b. 16

The rhythm of A (→GE→FE→EE)

Possible interpretation of the notation of FES

The meaning of the line drawn in FES linking the 6th third a flat2-c flat3 with the 3rd semiquaver of the left hand is unclear. Similar signs are most often employed to show the correct synchronization of both hands, yet in this case this would be a considerable alteration of the rhythm, not merely a more detailed explanation.
