  b. 9-12

No pedalling in A (→FE1,FC→GE)

    in FE2 (→EE)

The four-bar pedal added in FE2 (→EE) must be erroneous – cf. the authentic pedalling of b. 1-4. The intention could have been to generally indicate con pedale, which Chopin would probably sometimes use in the form of a single  marking (cf., e.g. the Etude in E Major, Op. 10 No. 11, b. 3-4). As Chopin's participation in the proofreading of FE2 remains unconfirmed, we keep the notation of A in the main text.
