Pedalling in AI

Pedalling in A

GE (→FE→EE)
..

In bars 28 and 32  of  A, the  is placed before the third crotchet of the L.H., yet this positioning is not reliable due to the lack of logic in graphical depicting of musical time in the notation of the left and the right hand. Therefore, the revisions made in GE (→FE→EE) are fully justified and make musical sense. In AI Chopin did not note the pedalling in bar 8 - being the equivalent of bar 32 in the repeat. See bar 8.
