The slur embracing the phrase in the middle voice was added by Chopin most probably in the proofreading of FE. The sign is, however, inaccurately placed – in bar 58, ending a line of the text, the slur begins on the stave, yet its continuation in bars 59-60 is under the stave, which hinders its interpretation. In the analogous place in bars 78-80, the slur is already clearly placed.
