No pedalling on the 4th beat of the bar is most probably a result of Chopin's distraction – the notation of pedalling stops in A on the  sign in the middle of the bar, perhaps due to lack of ink; after returning to writing, the composer could have been occupied with another issue. In a very similar context in bar 20, the pedalling – pedal on each beat of the bar – is written in the entire bar. The addition of  in GE1 (→FEEE) is probably a routine revision – it is hard to imagine that, when adding pedalling, Chopin would have overlooked the accented chord on the 4th beat of the bar. When removing the sign, the reviser of GE2 could have considered that it would be better to leave a general  indication on the 3rd beat rather than to suggest no pedalling on the 4th one.

Slur in A (→GE1FEEE)

No slur in GE2

..

In GE1 (→FEEE), although the slur that started over the last chord in bar 88 was not finished in bar 89 (on a new line), its intended reach is unquestionable and compliant with A. Omission of the slur in GE2, unless it is a simple oversight, must be considered an ineffective revision.

b. 88

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II

..

The staccato dots written in A over the chords in the R.H. on the 1st and 3rd beats of the bar were overlooked in GE1 (→FEEE). It is most probably a result of the engraver's inaccuracy. In GE2 only the second of the dots was added. Due to the possibly related differences in slurring, we discuss both types of indications collectively in the adjacent note
