@John_Ruggero The composer Theodor Kirchner would hardly have thought that 170 years later so much thought would be given to the notation of this bar . He simply wanted the syncopated e not to be lost. I have now shifted the second e slightly to the right to avoid the impression that it might be a unison e
Incidentally, the same passage occurs again at the end of the piece, but there the f# appears instead of the tied e
