() suggested by the editors

A comparison with analogous b. 66 points to Chopin's possible mistake in this bar – a pedal change is not necessary here. Chopin could have been misled by the length of the bars – the halves of this bar take up more or less as much space as the preceding and the subsequent bars. Due to the above reason, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.
