Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

It is hard to assume whether Chopin forgot to finish marking the pedalling here or whether he only generally indicated the need to use pedal in this fragment. Due to the fact that the indications are more accurate for the second time (bars 221-224), in the main text we signalise them already here.
