b. 247-248

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No markings in A (→FE→EE)

One-bar pedalling in FC (→GE)

Two-bar pedalling, our alternative suggestion
..

In the main text we give the pedalling entered by Chopin into FC (→GE). We provide justification for the suggested alternative version in the note to analogous b. 115-116.

b. 247-248

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In these bars the sources include naturals (cautionary?) before the D crotchets – GE before both, while FE (→EE) only in b. 247. We omit those accidentals in the main text.

b. 247

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In A (→FE→EE) there is no  restoring b2 on the penultimate quaver. A comparison with similar phrases an octave higher and lower proves that it was an oversight by Chopin. The accidental was added by GE.
