Having never seen any other example of your 2nd notation, No. 1 looks
like most of the keyboard literature I have.
Looks normal to me and easy to understand, especially with only one
voice part. Sometimes, with 4 or 5 voices,
it gets problematic and a "r.h." or "l.h." may be added , and then
its whatever works for the player.

This is a question mainly for keyboard players.
Which of these two notations do you prefer?

1 makes the hands more apparent, but 2 makes the beats clearer, of
course.
Amusingly, the preface to these pieces says that the composer has
made things easier by using 1, though in the music itself he
generally uses 2.
Thanks,
