In FEcor (FE→GE,EE) Chopin wrote the reminder about the upper voice's articulation twice – in bars 19 and 21. The hint in bar 19 is justified with the beginning of a new section of the piece, particularly in a situation when in bar 18 a group of semiquavers was embraced with a slur. In turn, the reason to repeat the indication in bar 21 was probably the beginning of a new page in FE, similarly as in bar 11. Cf. also the remark concerning dynamic markings.
