question about bass clef note
on: February 02, 2007, 08:16:23 PM
in measure 13 of chopin's prelude in D major (op 28 #5) - i see a G in the bass but a G# in the treble.  they are played together at the same time.  did he mean for them to sound 'off' or is this a dover misprint.  or, is it a rule that you must have a sharp written in the bass for it to be similar notation as the sharp in the treble?

Pianistimo,
My dover copy has a B in the bass and a G sharp in the treble....  but when I first read it, it did look like a G in the bass... Hope that helps!

I'm an optimist... but I don't think it's helping...

Yes, it's a B.
If it doesn't work - try something different!
