Two-bar pedal in A (→GE)

Pedal in b. 88 in FE (→EE)

It is difficult to say what the origin of the FE pedalling is. It does not seem to be a mistake, since a pedal encompassing only the descending fragment of the passage is present in FE also in bars 91-92. Nevertheless, it cannot correspond to Chopin's final intention, since in all further analogous places – bars 174-175, 178-179, 254-255 and 258-259 – all sources unanimously include two-bar pedals.
