Chopin added the pedalling in bars 5 and 13 in a proofreading of FE. At the same time, the  mark in bar 13 was omitted, which is certainly a mistake (of Chopin or the engraver). The missed sign was added in GE, after bar 5, and in EE, in which, however, the  mark was placed in the middle of the bar. In the main text we add the sign after the most probably authentic pedalling in bar 5.

In FE the pedalling of these bars is indicated in general terms with a  mark at the beginning of the phrase. Initially, a similar situation was in FC, in which, however, Chopin specified this aspect of performance by adding the remaining markings.
