What changed in this conversion
- Some held notes in bars 5, 10, 18, 26, 39, 52–93, 102–105, 115–121, 176–177, 184–189, 204, 213, 217, 224–259, 268–271, 281–287, 300 are shown shorter because that hand plays more than one rhythm at once. No notes were removed.
- Some very quick notes in bars 4–5, 10 were too close together to write separately, so they are shown as a chord. No notes were removed.
