Pedal on 2nd beat in GC (→GE)

Pedal on 1st beat in FE & EE

Our variant suggestion

It is hard to state how the discrepancies in pedal markings between GC (→GE) and FE and EE were created. However, if we take into account the fact that the absence of markings in bars 33-55 most probably is to be understood as pedale simile and not senza pedale, the difference in bar 56 comes down to the presence or absence of pedal change on the 2nd beat of the bar. In the main text, we, therefore, suggest such an alternative. Analogous discrepancies in the pedalling in similar contexts can be seen throughout the entire Etude – cf. bar 25.
