No pedalling in GE

in FE (→EE1)

    in EE2 (→EE3)

( ), our variant suggestion

The absence of pedal markings in this bar does not seem to be a mistake of GE – a typical Chopinesque harmonic pedal is not indispensable here, since all notes that are supposed to be heard are held with fingers. In this situation, the lonely  mark of FE (→EE1) may be interpreted in many different ways, e.g. as a mistake (by the engraver or even by Chopin in the basis for FE or while proofreading FE1) or an inaccuracy (overlooked ). A  mark was added in EE2 (→EE3) by analogy with similar b. 139 and 159, which, considering that the situation in the discussed bar is different, does not have to be an apt revision. Taking into account the above, in the main text we suggest a variant solution, made of the version of GE and the supplemented version of FE.
