Pedalling suggested by the editors

 in bar 198 is the last sign of pedalling, added and non-deleted by Chopin in GC (in the middle of the next bar one can see a deleted sign, which could have been a  asterisk). It is hard to decide what the reason for stopping the entries could have been, yet the most likely answer seems to be distraction. In any case, it certainly does not mean that one should stop using the pedal. In the main text we add indications on the basis of the authentic pedalling in similar bars 70-80. In GE1 the last written sign was considered to be a mistake and hence omitted, it was however reinstated in GE2
