Pedalling

b. 3-4

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

Pedalling in A, GE2 (→GE3→GE4) & EE2

No markings in FE (→GE1,EE1)
..

The absence of pedalling marks in FE (→EE,GE1) is most probably an oversight of the engraver. The signs were added in GE2 (→GE3→GE4), probably on the basis of comparison with analogous places.
