Pedalling in GC & GE2

Pedalling in FE (→EE)

Pedaling in GE1
..

In GC the sign is placed in the middle of the first half of the bar, so that it seems to refer to the e1 quaver. Such a placement is most probably inaccurate, and in GE1 the sign was shifted farther left, which is plainly wrong. GE2 restored the GC version. In the main text, we give the undoubtedly correct version of FE (→EE).

In GC there is no  before the 2nd quaver in the L.H. This patent inaccuracy was completed in GE. The remaining sources include the correct text.

g2-c3 in GC (→GE), FE3 (→FE4), FESch & EE2

g2-e3 in FE1 (→FE2→EE1)
..

The version with e3 present in FE1 (→FE2→EE1) (in both FE without the necessary  in this situation) is almost certainly erroneous. It is proved by: c3 written in GC (→GE) and the Chopinesque corrections in FESch and FE3 (→FE4). The correct version with c3 is written inaccurately in some of the sources – the necessary  is only in GE and EE2. Further omissions of accidentals – see the adjacent note.
