Our suggestion

Lack of  mark in FE (→EE1) is a patent error, as in bar 48 there is a  mark. In EE2 the notation was completed on the basis of an analogous situation in bars 38-39, however, it does not have to follow the notation of Chopin's autograph. In the main text we give the version of GE, completed with the proposition of a pedal depressed together with the appearance of the bass note of the F major chord, which enables achieving a clear sound of the passage also on contemporary pianos.
