In A (→FC→GE) the e1-a1 fourth is a minim without dots. It must be Chopin's oversight – cf. analogous b. 30 and similar b. 10, 13, 16, 29 and 32. Therefore, in the main text we include the addition introduced most probably by Fontana into FE (→EE).

Pedalling above R.H. in A & FE2

Pedalling below L.H. in EE
..

The pedalling in these bars, written by Chopin above the R.H. part (cf. Concerto in F minor op. 21, mvt. 1, b. 96), was omitted by the engraver of FE1 who perhaps was not sure where to place the markings. They were added in FE2 in accordance with the notation of A, however, EE moved them under the L.H. part.
The  sign in b. 35, overlooked in FC, was added in GE at the end of the first half of the bar.
