b. 240

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

..

Similarly as in bar 52, the bottom note of the 1st chord in FE1 (→FE2) is an erroneous a1. The patent mistake was corrected in FE3 (→FE4), EE and GE, which in the case of FE and EE could have been performed by Chopin.

b. 240

No markings in GE1 (→FE→EE)

The missing  asterisk in A is undoubtedly a mistake – this kind of oversights would happen to Chopin on a number of occasions, and the end of a page always fosters inaccuracies. The total oversight of the second pedal in this bar in GE1 (→FE→EE) is also to be considered a mistake – there is no reason to use a different pedalling in the ending of this bar than in three previous analogous bars 234, 236 and 238. GE2 added both a  and a . In this context, the placement of the  sign adopted there is the only reasonable one, hence we give this version in the main text.
