Slur (tenuto?) in FE

No slur/tie in GE

Tie to c3 in EE

Arpeggio written into FES, possible reading

Repeated c3 in FEH, literal reading

The meaning of the curved line between the cnotes is unclear, particularly in FE where it does not reach the quaver. Chopin may have thought of a tenuto-slur; however, a different misunderstanding of the Chopinesque notation also cannot be excluded. In the main text, we omit this curved line, since, according to us, the prescriptive interpretation of the mark as a tie is erroneous.

The passage filling 5 quavers was added in FES on the margin, next to the line containing bars 59-62, without indicating the place it should be inserted in the printed text. According to us, there are two such places – the 1st half of bar 59 (as an A major passage) or 5 last quavers in bar 61 (as an A minor passage). The latter seems to be more likely due to a similar nature of the passage written in this bar in FEH, hence we adopt the variant placed in bar 61 as the text of FES.

The literal interpretation of the variant of FEH excludes a simultaneous application of the interpretation of the passage of FES discussed above. Another interpretation of the entry in FEH – see the note in the further part of this bar.
