Pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE (→GE,EE)

The pedalling of A, in which the pedals in the 2nd half of b. 54 and in b. 55 encompass half a bar each, was considered inaccurate already by FE (→GE,EE). According to us, in this case, the engraver of FE properly assessed the situation – Chopin wrote only the first  mark in b. 54 while acknowledging the change of a chord on the 3rd crotchet. The inaccuracy could have been caused by the R.H. part not having been written out – see the previous note in this bar.
