  b. 41-42

No pedalling in A (→FE1,FCGE)

   in FE2 (→EE)

[  ] suggested by the editors

The authenticity of the pedalling markings added in FE2 (→EE) is uncertain. On the other hand, leaving two bars without pedalling markings in a piece provided with detailed pedalling indications may be misleading, hence in the main text we suggest adding markings after analogous b. 1-2 and 33-34. Adopting a different solution here than in b. 9-12 is motivated by the fact that Chopin saw there the entire text and could evaluate whether repeating the markings from b. 1-4 was necessary; in turn, here all he saw were empty, numbered bars, which hampered such an evaluation.
