As was the case with the fermatas, both pedalling versions may be authentic – both the standard FC version and the single mark in FE are often used by Chopin in the endings. Another argument against a possible mistake ( overlooked in FE) or a revision ( added by the copyist – cf. the ending of the Prelude in B, Op. 28 No. 11) is the fact that both versions correlate with the presence of fermatas – pedal release is marked in FC, in which there are no fermatas. In this situation, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.
