Pedalling

b. 92

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

..

We add the pedalling in bar 92 – Chopin most probably forgot about the indications in the manuscript and overlooked this place while proofreading FE1.

b. 96

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

No markings in A

Pedalling in FE (→GE,EE)

b. 106-108

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Pedalling in A & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

No signs in FE

 in bar 106 in GE1 & EE
..

The lack of pedal signs in FE in bars 106-108 is certainly a mistake. The markings – pedalling and also L.H. slurs – are omitted up to the end of the page (till bar 110). All the remaining editions supplemented the pedalling with a  sign in bar 106, but the markings in bars 107-108 were added only in GE2 (→GE3→GE4).
