I wonder if in the image attached the fermata placement for the piano part conveys a different musical meaning, as opposed to the (more standard) fermata in the voice staff... any thoughts?

Re: Fermata
I’m interested to hear others’ thoughts as well. I’ve seen this numerous times and I could never make sense why a fermata would be placed this way. I would place it like the upper staff does.

Re: Fermata
maybe some misguided effort to have the voice avoid doing an a-mennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn rather then an a-meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen?
it's a hand-written score, I'd chalk it up to a writing error.

It looks theoretically impossible to me. I mean, mathematically impossible.

Re: Fermata
Agreed, but I find it at least weekly in my researches ...
I've now come to accept it as a copyist's slip.
