The missing mark after in bar 314 in A (→GE) and FE is probably Chopin's oversight related to the transition between the pages. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest adding the mark before the change in the figuration nature; such an addition was also introduced by EE. On the other hand, in spite of the change in texture, bars 316-318 are based on the same diminished four-note chord as bars 314-315, hence it seems possible to hold the pedal longer, at least until the middle of bar 316, which we suggest as an alternative solution in this bar. Generally, lonely marks can often be found in Chopin's pieces, and sometimes it can be related to the difficulty in determining a precise moment the pedal should be released, particularly in similar situations to the one described here, cf., e.g. the Etude in D, Op. 25 No. 8, bars 19-20 and 27, the Prelude in C minor, Op. 45, bars 80-81 or the Waltz in C minor, Op. 64 No. 2, bars 15-16.
