in A, EE & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

No in FE

on last quaver in GE1

FE overlooked the pedal release, what GE1 supplemented routinely on the last quaver in the bar. Later GE moved under the 5th quaver, in accordance with A. The supplement introduced in EE is also basically converging with A.

b. 49-50

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

FE (→EE,GE1) does not include pedalling in bars 49-50, which, partially, results from the committed in A mistake in the abbreviated notation of these bars. The indications were added in GE2 (→GE3→GE4).

Pedalling in FE (literal reading→GE1→GE2)

Pedalling in FE (interpretation→EE)

Pedalling in GE3 (→GE4)

Chopin added the pedalling indication on the last beat of bars 72, 80 and 88 in the proofreading of FE. The sign in bar 72 was placed before the F-f octave, which confused the engraver of GE1 (→GE2). Interestingly enough, the reviser of GE3 (→GE4) corrected this mistake, however, he did not follow the analogy with similar bars, yet he moved under the last crotchet.
