In FE (→EE) the pedal markings are shifted to the right with respect to A, which, taking into account the likely oversights in bar 110 and 116, could be considered an inaccuracy. On the other hand, considering the authentic sound of the 1st L.H. octave, this version of pedalling results in a more transparent overview of the harmonic structure, with a distinct chord in second inversion. The A pedalling, in which this chord overlaps with the bass E
1, obliterates its function of a delayed dominant. This makes us regard the FE version as potentially authentic. In our version of the 1st octave it is the A pedalling that is more natural, hence we provide it in the main text.
