Pedalling in GC (→GE)

Only  in FE

Pedalling in EE

Our variant suggestion

It is not clear how the difference in pedal markings arose between GC (→GE) and FE. Possible are both the oversight of  by the engraver of FE and the mistaken placement of the sign by the copyist. Chopin also could have crossed  out in [A] after GC had been prepared. Considering the authenticity and chronology of the two source versions as uncertain we suggest a variant solution in the main text.
The sign in EE, despite of its apparent accordance with GC, seems to be a reviser's addition – the sign is different in form from other similar signs.
