Our alternative, variant suggestion |
FES contains vague signs in this bar, out of which two seem to have musical sense – a slur starting under the F
minim and a 
hairpin of a similar range. In the main text we do not include any of them:
- the slur, basically doubling the printed phrase mark, is clearly a teaching remark, reminding of the need to hold a full rhythmic value of this note;
- the interpretation of one of the lines as a hairpin is subject to a certain degree of uncertainty – this line, together with the vertical line, may also be a diagonal cross, so typical of Chopinesque teaching entries.
As the reasonably complements the 
indication from the previous bar, we suggest the version including this sign as an alternative solution.
