  b. 37-42

No markings in A (→FE1,FC→GE)

Pedalling in FE2 (→EE)

The pedal markings added to FE2, probably by Fontana, are a repetition of the authentic pedal markings in analogous b. 5-10 (omission of b. 36 is most probably an oversight). Chopin would often omit pedal markings in repeating fragments in which he had already indicated them the first time, e.g. in b. 11-17, hence we do not include them in the main text.
