Pedalling in FC (→GE1) & GE3

Pedalling in GE2
..

In the main text we give the pedalling entered by Chopin into FC (→GE1). The same applies to analogous b. 150-151 and 601-602, although the difference in the placement of the pedal release mark is noteworthy. GE2 shifted the  sign to bar 19, precisely after those analogous bars. GE3 reinstated the original version.

In the main text we give the  hairpin entered most probably by Chopin into FC. We consider the top arm to be reliable, corresponding to the range of an analogous mark in bar 26. In GE the mark was led to the c2 quaver ending the bar, which suggests a longer crescendo than the one resulting from the Chopinesque entry.

The  hairpin was probably added to FC by Chopin. By contrast, in the return of the theme, in analogous bar 89, a respective mark is present only in FE (→EE).
