b. 187-188
The difference in the pedalling between A and FE does not seem to be accidental – both versions can be musically justified, while the difference is audibly perceptible and gives this transition a different expressive mood, which suggests that both are authentic. For example, Chopin could have been adding pedal markings independently to A and to [FC] or while proofreading FE1. In the main text we give the markings of the principal source, that is A, while the FE version can be considered an equal variant.
The absence of in GE1 is most probably an oversight (the mark in bar 198 and the pedal markings in bars 199-200 were also overlooked), corrected in GE2.
