b. 444-445
One can ponder whether the pedal change under these bars corresponds to Chopin's intention: in three previous, analogous places (b. 334-335, 342-343 and 436-437) those bars are performed on one pedal. In A Chopin overlooked pedalling markings in subsequent bars (until the final passage in this section, b. 460-465), which suggests the composer's temporary distraction. Due to the above reason, in the main text we give a two-bar pedal, modelled after the analogous places. Cf. also the commentary to b. 65-116 and analog.
The pedal change was overlooked in GE2 and restored in GE3. The missing asterisk in b. 445 in FE (→EE) is an evident inaccuracy in this context.
