Pedalling

b. 24

composition: Op. 28 No. 11, Prelude in B major

No pedal in A, contextual interpretation

  in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)
..

In the 1st half of the bar, the only mark in A is a , without a , which should precede it. Both FC (→GE) and FE (→EE) considered it an oversight and added a  at the beginning of the bar. However, it may be likely that Chopin's mistake consisted in placing the  asterisk cancelling the  mark from b. 21 too far and leaving it there (not crossing it out), in spite of adding the right  mark at the end of b. 22. We consider this interpretation to be more likely and give it in the main text.
