f1 tied in FC (→GE)

f1 repeated in FE (→EE)

The missing tie to f1 in FE (→EE) may be simply an oversight by the engraver. However, one cannot rule out that this version could be authentic or even later than the version with a tie, if Chopin removed it while proofreading FE. The reason for a possible correction could be a more exact rhythmic and melodic inner analogy between the phrases in bars 57-64 and 65-72 – in the former, both four-bar sections begin from tied sixths (bars 57 and 61), whereas in the latter – from a played note in the bottom voice (bars 65 and 69).
