in A (→FE→EE)

in FC (→GE)

According to us, the  mark in A (→FE→EE) is placed inaccurately: this four-bar section appears four times in total, and in the three remaining appearances the pedal release is marked at the beginning of the bar (b. 52, 184 and 192). Therefore, in the main text we give the mark written in FC (→GE), which was most probably also added by Chopin.
