In the main text we give the  sign after FE. In the remaining editions it was placed a little bit later, which, after all, has no practical meaning. According to us, the atypical – compared to the remaining pedalling of the Etude – position of this sign does not have to be erroneous: perhaps in this way Chopin wanted to draw attention to the need of more cautious pedalling in relation to diminuendo.

Apart from EE2 (→EE3), in which the fermata mark was undoubtedly overlooked, the notation of the remaining sources has the same meaning, yet in the case of FE, GE3 and EE4 the notation is certainly imprecise.
