Don't you find this a little odd?

[persona]

I came across this Fantasia in C by Handel at a sleazy web site that shouldn't be relayed on (it's number 4 from the Third Collection of Piano Works). I really like this piece, but I couldn't find it anywhere else.
When I was learning it, I found it quite strange when got to the part attached, because it doesn't make much sense to me to play the first arpeggio one way and the following three differently (I'm talking about the ones in red), specially since absolutely nothing else changes in the structure. If anyone knows this piece from a different source, I'd really appreciate it if you told me how these arpeggios are supposed to be played.
I don't mean to criticize Handel, but I've seen in the past a few pieces on this very same web site that were a little bit different from the original version (I mean, some of the notes were not the same). This is why I'm asking. I'm not sure if they change it merely for fun or if they are unintended mistakes.
Anyway, thanx in advance.

I honestly don't see what is so strange ... are you referring to how the octaves alternate with alberti bass in the left hand?

He's talking about how those four measures are repeated strictly sequentially except for the changes he enclosed in the red boxes.  It really all revolves around the last note of the measure in the left hand.  The first one is on the fifth of the chord, the remaining three are on the root.  Personally I have no answer.

That's exactly what I mean. It's strange, isn't it?
