What changed in this conversion
  • Some held notes in bars 13, 39, 46 are shown shorter because that hand plays more than one rhythm at once. No notes were removed.
  • Some very quick notes in bar 50 were too close together to write separately, so they are shown as a chord. No notes were removed.
