The missing pedalling in bars 4 and 28 seems to be an inaccuracy of notation. In the first two bars, Chopin characteristically diversifies the performance – with or without pedal – depending on whether the crotchets creating a spread chord can be held with hand or not. It is possible that he considered the use of the same pedalling two bars further to be obvious (cf. the adjacent note). In the recapitulation (bars 325-336), respective bars appear twice (bars 328 and 336), both times with pedalling. The 
sign is also in bar 12, which confirms that performing those bars without pedal was not Chopin's intention. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding both the 
sign in bar 12 and both signs in bars 4 and 28.
