  b. 1-4

No pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

GE3 (→GE4)

Our variant suggestion

The pedalling of these bars was added by Chopin during a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The editors have doubts whether the moment of the pedal's release in bar 4 was correctly marked (due to harmonic reasons). Therefore, we suggest to release the pedal slightly earlier. Most probably, the reviser of GE3 (→GE4) thought alike, moving the  mark at the end of bar 3.
