The additional pedal change in the middle of the bar is most probably a mistake of the engraver of EE or of the copyist preparing the base text for this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The missing pedal change on the 4th beat of the bar must be considered an error of the engraver of FE or of the copyist who prepared the base text for this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources |

In CDP there are no pedal markings in bars 25-28 (and further on, until the end of the piece). We do not consider it as an independent version – see the characteristics of this manuscript. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information |

Lack of the pedal change on the 2nd beat of the bar does not seem to be a mistake – Chopin could have deleted the signs in the base text to FE or while proofreading this edition. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a variant solution. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

It is hard to evaluate the authenticity of alternative pedalling of FE and EE. Each of them may be a result of either the copyist's or engraver's mistake or Chopin correction in one of the lost autographs. The authenticity of all three source versions could mean Chopin's significant uncertainty, as far as the best pedalling variant of this bar is concerned. We complete the unfinished pedalling of AI on the basis of A. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |
