The missing  mark may correspond to the notation of [A] or even to Chopin's intention – such situations are very frequent in his pieces; what is more, they do not always result from inadvertence. However, in this case the notation may be misleading – a single  mark in such a harmonic, dynamic and pianistic context most probably means that the pedal should be held until the very end of the passage, which we specify in the main text with the help of a [] mark. However, the addition of a relevant mark in GE proves that not everyone considered such pedalling natural or even correct.

No marks in PE

Staccato dots in GE

..

The missing staccato dots in PE must be an oversight, probably by the engraver – the marks are in all 5 repetitions of this bar. The dots were added in GE, which we include in the main text.

No mark in PE1 (→PE2PE3)

Staccato dot in GE & PE4

..

The missing staccato dot under the bass note in the first impressions of PE must be an oversight (in this and the next bar). Relevant marks are present in analogous figures both before (bars 33-35) and after (bar 38). In the main text we add a dot in both places, as it was performed in GE and PE4.

..

As in the previous bar, the missing staccato dot in the first impressions of PE must be an oversight. In the main text we add it, as it was performed in GE and PE4.
