In A, the asterisk  is placed at the end of the bar, after the 3rd crotchet. However, due to quite dense notation of the 3rd beat of the bar, one cannot be one hundred percent sure about it. In GE (→FE→EE)  was printed under the 3rd crotchet.

Pedal release marks in A (→GE1)

FE

EE

GE2 (→GE3)
..

In that entire section in A the asterisks  are written at the end of the bar, after the 3rd crotchet of the L.H., and this is definitely the only authentic notation. It was basically reproduced in GE1, but only in bars 117-119, 121, 125 and 127 were the marks clearly placed; in the remaining bars they were put very close to the notes, so it is not entirely clear how the relation between  and the chord on the 3rd beat should be understood. In GE2 (→GE3), the placement of the pedal release marks is less consistent: in bars 117, 119, 121, 125 and 127 the  are placed after the 3rd crotchet, in the remaining bars - under it. In FE and EE, asterisks placed under the 3rd crotchet prevail; the placement consistent with A (i.e. after the L.H. chord)  can only be found in bars 117 and 119 in FE and in bar 125 alone in EE. There is also an asterisk missing in bar 121 in FE.
