The pedalling in bar 93 must be erroneous – juxtaposing dominant with tonic (in this order) rings false in this texture, and it is difficult to assume that Chopin would have wanted to achieve such a result. However, it is not obvious how one could rectify that mistake. There are a few possibilities:

  1. moving the  mark in bar 93 to the middle of the bar. A sound result of such modified pedalling does not significantly deviate from the authentic one given in analogous bars 18-19 and 26-27;
  2. moving the pedal change written under the bar line half a bar earlier. It results in a sonically enhanced variant of the authentic pedalling;
  3. completing the source markings by adding a pedal change in the middle of bar 93.

In the main text, we suggest the latter, which allows for elimination of mixed chords without moving the markings featured in the sources. We also recommend the 2nd suggestion, which complements the unquestionable pedalling of the analogous bars. There is a similar situation in bars 97-98.

We give three possible clarifications of the pedalling of the sources, which we find to be erroneous in bar 97.

In FE, the missing staccato dots over the quaver in bar 116 and semiquavers in bar 117 must be considered an inaccuracy in the face of dots in the analogous places in bars 115-118. The mark in bar 116 was added in EE, while all three dots were added in GE3

The missing articulation markings in the L.H. on the last three quavers of the Tutti must be considered an inaccuracy. The marks were added in EE and, partially, in GE3
