We provide the whole-bar A pedal mark (→GE), the only indication written here by Chopin, as the principal pedal mark. However, as in a similar context in bar 68 Chopin provided two pedalling variants, we suggest the version with a half-bar pedal mark, in this case absent in FE (perhaps due to an oversight), as an alternative solution. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

Chopin must have added the two pedal changes within this two-bar section to [FC] or while proofreading FE1. The comparison with analogous bars 75-76 and 242-243 suggests that Chopin committed a mistake while writing the A pedal markings concerning the discussed bars, confused by the L.H. part shorthand notation. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

In A Chopin deleted the pedal change on the 4th crotchet in the bar, yet in analogous bar 83 it was the other way around – there are two pedal changes in A (→GE) and one in FE (→EE). The fact that Chopin left various versions in these sources (which he proofread) proves that he hesitated, hence in the main text we suggest a variant solution. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |

The FE pedal markings take advantage of the harmonic legato, carefully written out by Chopin, and is recommended as such, particularly on contemporary pianos – cf. bars 43-48. Due to this fact, as in those bars, in the main text we include it in a variant form, keeping the A indication as the principal one. In GE there is no category imprint: Differences between sources |

Our variant suggestion is based on the authentic pedal markings in analogous bars 180-181. In the discussed bars the markings are generally compliant in all sources; it is only in FE (→EE) that the category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE |
mark at all in these bars, which we interpret as the absence of pedalling.
