..

After the  mark in the middle of bar 22, FE is missing the  mark. In GE and EE a  was added at the end of this bar, yet according to us, Chopin probably had in mind a one-and-a-half bar pedal.

In the pedalling of bars 29-36, added in a proofreading of FE, the last  mark in bar 36 was omitted, which is almost certainly a mistake. The error was repeated only in GE1.

Omission of the  mark at the end of the pieces is characteristic for Chopin's pedalling and is featured in numerous works, e.g., in the Etudes in C major, No. 1, C minor, No. 4, C major, No. 7, F major, No. 8, E major, No. 11. The revisers of GE and EE considered it as an inaccuracy of notation of FE.
