on 6th quaver in A, probable reading |

on 3rd beat, our alternative suggestion |
The position of the second marking in this bar in A (→FC) is questionable. It is placed under the 2nd and 3rd quavers of the middle triplet (due to the correction of the 2nd quaver, they are very close to each other); it can also be assigned to the 1st note of the 3rd triplet (the version of GE is almost certainly contrary to the idea of Chopin). According to us, in A it seems that the mark should be associated with f on the 6th quaver of the bar, whereas in FC with b on the 5th one. Along with the version of FE, it exhausts the possibilities of a direct interpretation of this notation.
We suggest two more solutions drawn from the unequivocal, authentic pedalling of similar phrases in b. 5 and 17.
A similar situation can be found in b. 39.
