No mark in EE1

from beginning of bar 414 in EE2 (→EE3)
..

The lack of hairpin in EE1 is most probably an oversight. In EE2 (→EE3) a sign spanning the entire two bars was added – cf. note to bars 412-413.

Slur in FE (→EE), literary reading

Tie to a​​​​​​​1, contextual interpretation of FE

No slur/tie in GE
..

According to us, the slur of FE (→EE), additionally separating a group of two notes from a three-note motif, is a result of an erroneous interpretation of the tie of a1. (FE and EE differ in the arrangement of the noteheads constituting the a1-b1 second; as a result, the discussed slur of FE seems to be reaching b1, whereas in EE – a​​​​​​​1.)

It is hard to state what led to the pedal release mark being placed two bar earlier in EE. It could be a mistake.
