No markings in FC (→GE)

The pedalling of FE (→EE) seems to be a mistake, even if it was entered by Chopin. The pedalling of bars 25-39, compliant between FC and FE except this place, reveals an easy-to-grasp regularity – the use of pedal is marked only where the bass notes are played separately – a regularity that the discussed markings of FE break.
