In the main text we include the pedalling of GE; however, we move the mark slightly to the left, under the nearest octave, since its actual position (see the graphic transcription – the version "transcript") is inaccurate – the pedal should be pressed either by the end of the 7th semiquaver (which, in addition to an unnecessary complication, would result in the same sonic effect) or on the rest, which is equally irrational. We assume that Chopin meant a multiplied e-c sixth, since the Chopinesque pedalling is, in principle, harmonic – it produces harmonies out of various, non-simultaneous sounds.
General issue of authenticity of the pedalling of GE – see the next note.
