Lack of pedal marks in FE (→EE1) may be an omission of the engraver of FE1 or of Chopin himself in [A1].

In the main text we give the indication cresc. after the more accurate notation of FE. Dividing the indication into syllables is a characteristic manner of Wessel's editions.

..

In FE1 there are no naturals lowering F to F, f to f and c1 to c1 (the 2nd, 6th and 7th quavers). The accidentals were added in FE2 and EE. GE also has a correct text.

..

We propose an addition to the authentic pedalling on the basis of analogous figures in bars 32-33.

FE has a  before the 1st note of the passage, which is a patent error corrected in EE.
