  b. 69

No sign in AW, CDP & GC (→GE)

 in FE & EE

In the main text we do not give  at the end of the piece, as in GC (→GE) it was not deleted, which leads to the conclusion that Chopin eventually did not want this sign. There are two possible scenarios:

  • Chopin himself deleted in GC the  present in [A] (its omission in CDP would be the responsibility of the copyist);
  • Gutmann deleted the  he wrote "on the run," after having noticed its absence in [A], which is confirmed by CDP (at that time, the signs in FE and EE were editorial additions).

(In AW there is no pedalling in bars 68-69 at all.)
