b. 72

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II

 in A & GE2

No sign in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The missing  sign in GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE1. The mistake was corrected in GE2 after A.

b. 72

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No marking in FE (→GE)

in EE

[] suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding a  asterisk in accordance with the harmonic content (after the previous bar). The mark was also added in EE. There is a similar situation in b. 216.

b. 73

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

..

In EE1 the engraver overlooked . The missing mark was added already in EE2 (→EE3).

b. 74-77

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

Pedalling of bars 74-77 in A

 added in GE1

 added in FE

 added in EE

 moved in #FE2
..

We give the pedalling of A (a single pedal depression from bar 74 to the end). Subsequent supplementations in GE1, FE and EE and the change in GE2 are most probably made by reviewers. FE has an ad-hoc correction of the GE1 version, as that version was contrary to Chopin's intentions.

b. 75-76

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

No pedalling in AI

 in AF & EE

     in FE

  in GE

Our variant suggestion
..

The missing  mark in AF is probably an inaccuracy; Chopin wanted both bars to be performed with one pedal, which is confirmed by a  mark added – probably by the composer – in the proofreading stage of FE. In the main text, we leave the choice of one of the versions – FE or GE – to the discretion of the performer.
