Pedalling in GE3 (→GE4)

Chopin added the pedalling indication on the last beat of bars 72, 80 and 88 in the proofreading of FE. The  sign in bar 72 was placed before the F-f octave, which confused the engraver of GE1 (→GE2). Interestingly enough, the reviser of GE3 (→GE4) corrected this mistake, however, he did not follow the analogy with similar bars, yet he moved  under the last crotchet.
