Pedalling in bars 243-271, containing three similar eight-bar phrases and the initial 5 bars of the fourth one, displays many differences both between particular sources and between the phrases themselves. Some of those differences may be safely explained as mistakes and inaccuracies – absence of marks in GC (→GE), partial in bars 252-257 and total in bars 259-266 , as well as shifted 
marks in bars 259 and 267 in FE. Having made the necessary corrections, we are left with the two basic types of authentic pedalling for those phrases:
- two or three bars on a single pedal followed by pedal changes in every bar in line with the changing notes of the melody made by the top notes of both hands in each bar;
- one pedal for the entire section, based on a single harmony.
If we take into account the entirety of the discussed fragment, the above two types produce two pedalling patterns: uniform (FE, all phrases with type 1 pedalling) and mixed (the first two phrases with changing pedals, and the next two based on a single pedal - EE and GC, the latter with errors).
