  b. 57-59

Slur to D-d in A, literal reading

Slur to bar 59 in A (contextual interpretation→FEEE)

Slur to A-a in FC (→GE)

The phrase mark written in A under b. 48-58 reaches more or less the middle of the last bar (those bars are only signalized and do not contain notes). Having taken into account the contents of that bar, we get a phrase mark reaching the D-d octave. However, one can have doubts whether it was indeed Chopin's intention. It cannot be ruled out that the composer did not confront the phrase mark with the actual text of the L.H. part and simply repeated the mark from the homogeneous R.H. part. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a phrase mark reaching b. 59, which is compliant with the notation of analogous b. 41-43. When interpreted literally, the phrase mark of A may be considered a variant, whereas the even shorter phrase mark of FC (→GE) is a repetition of the erroneous, incomplete phrase mark of those sources in analogous b. 41-43.
