There is no pedalling both in As and in AI. Its precise reproduction on the basis of A did not cause major problems to the editors (except for bars 49 and 61-62, which we discuss separately). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |

In FE (→GE1op,GE1no2,EEC,EEW1) there are no pedalling indications in this bar, which is almost certainly an oversight. The signs were added in later editions on the basis of a patent analogy. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions |

One can ponder whether the difference in pedalling between bars 45-46 and 61-62 was intended (deliberate) by Chopin and whether it is not a mere difference in the notation, as it sometimes happen in similar contexts. A clear differentiation of performance indications between bars 33-48 and 49-64 (other dynamics and slurring) demonstrates that it is an intentional difference, indicating varied approach to the pedalling in these pairs of bars. The revisers of later GE and EE had a different opinion, as they changed the pedalling of bars 61-62 after bars 45-46. Similarly in bars 125-126 and 189-190. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

The pedalling is only in the version prepared for print – As and AI have no indications. In the main text, we reproduce the notation of A. In the editions, the category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies |

The absence of pedalling in GE is undoubtedly a mistake, however, it could have been committed still in FE, in which the indications were then added in the last phase of proofreadings. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE |
signs were placed inaccurately in many situations, e.g., in bars 66, 70 and analog. after the 3rd crotchet or under it instead before. Other, more significant differences are discussed separately – cf. bars 72, 73, 75-76, 85-86 and 88-89.
