In the main text, we adjust the position of the mark in order to avoid an unjustified mix of harmonies at the end of the bar (cf. bar 577 and 585). However, the pedalling of this bar should perhaps be understood generally as con pedale – cf. the Etude in E Major, Op. 10 No. 11, bars 11-12 (in the discussed bar of the Concerto, the asterisk could have also been added by the engraver, as if 'in a flow') – to which our alternative suggestion corresponds. Eventually, taking into account the fact that this is the only bar among the similar ones (bar 227, 235, 251 and 578) where pedalling markings appear, one also cannot exclude that both marks were placed here by inadvertence, perhaps still in [A].
