Four-bar pedal in FE

In the main text, we give the pedalling of FE, which in this case does not seem to be a result of oversight of signs. Combining the bars based on one chord is very characteristic for Chopin pedalling; in this place it perfectly matches the maximal dynamics of this triumphal, culminant ending of the cycle.
