Sunken Cathedral - apparent transcription error

I realized after playing this piece for a couple years that theres a single note error in this Musicnotes version. And yes, I played the error for two years. Measure 23: first chord is a Dm7 add4 (if theres such a thing), but the top staff (both upper and lower are in G clef at this point) has a B as the low note in the chord. This would place it inside the fingering for the left hand chord, as well as making it a hard reach for average sized hands. After buying a book with all the Preludes, I noticed that that source had a D on the bottom of the RH chord, which makes more sense. Otherwise, this is a fun and dramatic piece to play. Suitable for an intermediate level player who can reach octaves without difficulty. This is one of those pieces where the sight reading can be a challenge - e.g. the section in C# minor, but the chords are not mechanically difficult to play. For that reason, I found it was worth spending the time to memorize.
