GE & EE

The placement of the  mark in FE1 literally means that the pedal should be depressed on the last beat of bar 4, which for harmonic reasons could not be intended by Chopin. Such notation probably results from misunderstanding the autograph, in which the mark might have been placed that way due to lack of space under the very low note (C1) in bar 5. The notation of FE2, in which bar 4 ends a line of text, is definitely erroneous. EE and GE have the  placed correctly in bar 5.
