b. 39

		on 6th quaver in A, probable reading
		on 5th quaver in A (another reading→FC)
		on 2nd beat in FE (→EE) & GE
		on 3rd beat, possible reading of A
		[ ] suggested by the editors
		on 3rd beat, our alternative suggestion

As was the case in b. 7, of which this bar is a repetition, the interpretation of the pedalling markings in the manuscripts is problematic. In addition to two most likely interpretations of A (versions A and FC), we suggest one more possible interpretation and two contextual interpretations modelled on the pedalling markings written by Chopin in similar situations in b. 37 or 25.
