The pedalling of FES is written with a hand of a pupil, yet one can believe that it corresponds to the indications coming from Chopin. Similarly in bar 5.

Chopin may have added the pedalling of this bar in all Stichvorlage manuscripts (certainly in GC, in which Chopin's hand is easily recognisable). However, he did not coordinate his entries – hence the differences between the sources. In the main text we give the most accurate indications of FE.

In EE the  sign was placed only under the e1 minim, which is certainly a result of misunderstanding of the authentic notation.

No sign in GC (→GE) & EE

 in FE

The  sign is present only in FE, which suggests a possible correction introduced by Chopin.
