Pedalling in A and GE2 (→GE3)

No pedal marks in GE1

Pedalling of FE

 not found in EE

The whole-bar pedalling of A was omitted in GE1 (and restored back in GE2 and GE3 in accordance with A). When proofing FE Chopin restored pedalling in that bar, yet he placed the asterisk  earlier than in A, before the 3rd beat of the bar. We consider this to be his final decision. In EE  the   mark was omitted.
