Pedalling in A (→FC→GE, →FE→EE)

Incomplete pedalling in CXI

No markings in CGS

It is either inaccuracy of the copyist or a conscious simplification of notation by George Sand (see also b. 1-2), who knew the piece well, that are probably responsible for an almost complete absence of pedalling indications in CGS (apart from the  mark at the beginning of the piece). Due to the differences in the placement of the  marks, we discuss b. 5-10 and 13 separately.
