Additional crotchet in A1

Additional semiquaver in CJ & CK

Large notehead in CB

Small notehead in EL

In the main text we give the first a1 note as a separate semiquaver after the notation of [A2] (→CJ,CK). The crotchet in A1 conveys rather a sonic idea, whereas the accented semiquaver in [A2] – the instructions for its implementation. The simplified versions of notation in CB and EL are arbitrary revisions.
