Often his sf's look like two grace-note eighths.

We think he forgot to put a natural sign before this note.

Unclear if this is a note, or a tenuto sign - we chose tenuto.

We assume because he didn't fill in the note-head that he wants this Ab held.

This measure sounds strange, but maybe he plans to modulate to another key.

He clearly should have put the natural sign in front of the next note (the E-flat.) This G doesn't need it, and E-flat sounds wrong.

This is puzzling. Why would he make these notes 16ths? And why did he not repeat the D? — There is a tie coming from the first D, presumably to connect to another D. It's as if, instead of writing another D, he drew in another beam.

Strange place for a trill(!)

Strange place for a trill(!)

Can't tell if it is G or F or both. Just based on what sounded best, we picked G.

He forgot to tie the E from the previous measure.
