After the  sign in bar 117, the sources do not include a  asterisk. In the main text we suggest adding the sign after similar bar 111.

Pedalling in A, contextual interpretation

Pedalling in A (different interpretation) & GE2

Pedalling in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

Both ways of pedalling, which can be deduced from the inaccurate and obscure notation of the sources – above all A – may be considered equal, according to us; their sound effect is very similar anyway. In the main text we give a possible interpretation of corrections and entries visible in A. The second proposed version, also referring to the notation of A (interpreted differently), reproduces at the same time the notation of the editions, free from errors. In particular, we correct the erroneous oversight of markings in the middle of bar 121, in which Chopin overlooked the  sign and in GE1 (→FE→EE) there was  instead of  (cf. bar 283).

b. 121

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

No markings in AF (→FE→EE)

 in GE

In this context the missing  must be considered an inadvertence, hence we add it after the previous bars.

b. 125

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

in GE & EE

No sign in FE
..

The missing  mark must be an inaccuracy of FE (it is the last bar in the line), corrected both in GE and EE.

b. 146-147

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

No markings in FE (→GE1→GE2)

 in bar 147 in EE1

2  markings in EE2 (→EE3) & GE3

2 [] suggested by the editors
..

The missing ​​​​​​​ marks are a patent inaccuracy, hence in the main text we suggest adding them after the two previous bars. The marks were added already in EE (in EE1 only in bar 147) and GE3.
