One-voice notation in A (→FC→GE, →FE→EE)

Two-voice notation in CGS

Just like in b. 1-3, later in the Prelude, CGS consistently stuck to a different division into parts, indicating the R.H. to perform the topmost notes on the bottom stave. The only exception are b. 6-7, in which the smaller span of figuration makes it possible to be performed entirely by the L.H.
