  b. 65-68

Pedalling in bar 65 in GC (literal reading)

Pedalling in bars 65-67 in GC (possible interpretation→GE1)

Pedalling in bars 65-68 in FE (→EE)

No markings in GE2mar

Pedalling in bars 11-12 in GC (contextual interpretation) & GE2

Due to the abbreviations used in the manuscripts (in bars 12-13) in the notation of bars 66 and 67, it is not clear in how many bars Chopin wanted to mark the pedalling. The possibilities of interpretation of the notation of [A], conveyed most probably by GC, were discussed in the first section of Marche – see bars 11-13. As far as the editions are concerned, only GE2mar and GE2 repeated the version from bars 11-14 here (different ones). FE (→EE) includes pedaling in up to four bars, which is certainly a mistake (cf. bar 68), while GE1 presents one of possible interpretations of GC.
