In A, the pedal mark  is entered under the 3rd crotchet of bar 56 and clearly refers to that crotchet. Nonetheless, in GE1 (→FE→EE) it was put in bar 57. The inaccuracy was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

Placing the  mark in this bar in GE1 (→FE→EE) is the result of lack of understanding of the notation of A.

..

The extent of the slur in the L.H. that begins in A on the 3rd crotchet of bar 56 is not quite clear. In the editors' opinion that slur probably led to the deleted chord at the beginning of bar  57. In GE1 (→FE) it was brought as far as the 2nd crotchet, which does not follow in any way from A. That notation, incomprehensible in the context, was changed in EE, as well as in GE2 (→GE3) in the manner that we consider to be the most proper reading of A.

Asterisks  in A

GE1 (→FE→EE)

GE2 (→GE3)
..

In this entire fragment the  marks are clearly placed in A at the end of the bar, after the 3rd crotchet.  Still, in GE1 (→FE→EE) they were placed under the 3rd crotchet in all the bars. In GE2 (→GE3) the asterisks were moved to the right (with the exception of bar 57), yet in some cases (e.g. in bars 59-60) the ultimate effect of the introduced change is not clear.

The 2nd crotchet has the staccato articulation in A (→GE2→GE3) and EE

No staccato sign in GE1 (→FE)
..

The staccato dot is missing in GE1 (→FE), which is certainly  an error. The dot was added again in EE and GE2 (→GE3).
