In the main text we give the pedalling added by Chopin in FC (→GE). In that manuscript Chopin copies one pedal encompassing two bars wherever a pair of bars is based on the same chord: b. 81-82, 83-84, 85-86, 91-92, 93-94, 97-98, 99-100 & 101-102. Another pedalling, most probably also authentic, was added in FE (→EE), in which one pedal encompassing two bars is indicated only in b. 81-82 & 97-98 (the remaining ones are provided with a whole-bar pedal). In spite of the fact that the second pedalling is almost certainly later, in the main text we give the pedalling of FC, since the corrections visible therein (deletions of markings at the end of b. 81 and 91) prove that the composer considered it to be better. Naturally, it cannot be ruled out that while adding pedalling marks in FE Chopin consciously returned to the original concept; however, according to us, it is more likely that it was a result of lack of adequate concentration, e.g. due to haste. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of FC |

In b. 105-106, 109 & 113-114 in the main text we give the pedalling added by Chopin in FE (→EE). In FC (→GE1) the entire final section of this theme (b. 105-116) is devoid of markings, which must be Chopin's oversight; it could have been provoked by the corrections in the L.H. part in b. 102-104: Chopin could have noticed a mistake there while adding pedalling; having corrected it, which required the erasure of 3 bars of accompaniment, he did not resume his previous activity. GE2 (→GE3) added markings on the basis of the pedalling written in FC in analog. b. 237-238, 241 & 245-246, which is totally compliant with the markings we suggest. See also the notes to b. 107-108, 110-112 & 115-116. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors resulting from corrections , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Alterations in CF |

..
In the main text we give the two-bar pedal entered by Chopin into FC in analog. b. 239-240. FC is devoid of pedalling in the discussed bars, which is almost certainly Chopin's oversight: see the corresponding note in b. 105. In FE (→EE) there are two one-bar pedals, which may be considered an authentic variant; however, it is most likely a hastily written, less deliberate version. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |
