Crotchets after minims in AsI & A (→GE)

Various rhythms in FE1

Crotchets mostly after minims in FESB

Crotchets and minims together in EE

As it was described in the note concerning b. 16-17, due to the notation of the harmonic legato in the L.H. part, the engraver of GE1-2 misunderstood the rhythm; consequently, the notation became more or less compliant with A only after corrections to a printed version. Generally, the dotted crotchets are separated from the minims; however, wherever there are no small rhythmic values in the R.H., the gaps are very small, while in the 2nd half of b. 18 the notes almost touch each other. Consequently, it contributed to the clearly erroneous versions of notation of FE and EE:

  • in FE1 it is only b. 19 and 23 and the 2nd half of b. 28 that are correct;
  • in FESB it is only the 1st half of b. 26 that is an exception to a generally correct version of notation;
  • in EE the erroneous combinations of minims with dotted crotchets were introduced into all bars.
