Pedalling in AI, contextual interpretation

Pedalling in AI, alternative interpretation

No markings in remaining sources

Chopin's indicating the pedalling in AI in bar 66 is undoubtedly related to the fact of playing the bass note on the 1st beat of the bar, present in this autograph, which makes the figure of the accompaniment in this bar to be closely analogous to the previous ones. However, the  sign in bar 67 poses a mystery, as it is difficult to indicate a possible scenario leading to the creation of this mistake. Therefore, we suggest both possibilities of correcting the notation, giving priority to the one in which we consider the notation to be unfinished.
