We consider the missing  mark in FE to be an inaccuracy, perhaps by Chopin, since the same version is to be seen in bar 52. In the main text we suggest a  before the 3rd crotchet, after the markings of FE in bars 17-18; this is how the notation of FE was supplemented in EE. The mark in FC is most probably written too late, although in this case the harmonic sequence does not rule out such pedalling.

In the main text we include the  mark of FE (→EE) and add [] as in analogous bar 20. The missing indications in FC (→GE) most probably resulted from an oversight by the copyist.
