Probable interpretation

Possible interpretation

Our variant suggestion

The pedalling of FE seems to be incomplete – there is no musical justification for omitting the  marking in bar 76; this bar ends the line, which promotes oversights. However, it cannot be ruled out that it is the  marking in bar 77 that was written or left by mistake. Uncertain as to what Chopin's intention was, in the main text we leave the consideration of a pedal change in this place to the discretion of the performer.
