  b. 64-72

 in A and GE2 (→GE3)

 in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Our proposition

The  asterisks in bars 64, 68 and 72 are placed in A at the end of the bar, after the 3rd crotchet if the L.H. In GE1 (→FE→EE) they were printed earlier, under the 3rd crotchet. The pedal release proposed by the editors, ever earlier than that, takes into account Chopin's notation in analogous bars 80, 84 and 88. A shorter pedal seems to better correspond with the final version of the rhythm in those bars. In GE2 (→GE3) the pedal release moment was marked as in A.
