Pedal change in GC (→GE) & FE

No markings in FE

Our variant suggestion

The pedalling of EE is undoubtedly authentic; it cannot be excluded that, same as in many other similar situations (see bar 24), combining two figures based on one harmony with pedal is a result of Chopin's reflection and correction. However, as the transposition of the music narrative one octave down appears only here in the entire section (bars 17-28), it cannot be excluded that Chopin was not entirely sure of the pedalling of this bar. Due to this fact, we leave a possible pedal change at the discretion of the performer.
