Hi, You're cheating a bit, Mike ! This wasn't "c'4~ c'8." instead of "a4~ a8." in the lower voice. It's even more tight ! Here is the example in context (Breitkopf und Härtel 1878) : http://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/05677 The last two systems of the second page. You can also notice a similar case on the last PDF page. Last system, measure 2, third beat, upper staff. I also have many other cases of "three-voices-tight-situations" in more recent editions, especially Bärenreiter.
I saw one day a XIXth century book with VERY tight music everywhere. Something like 6 voices Preludes and Fuges everywhere. Of course, beautifully engraved. If I could find it again... This thing is really the bible of beam collisions ! Now I have to go away for the WE. Regards, Bertrand
