[] suggested by the editors

The sources lack an authentic pedal release mark of the pedal from b. 536. The  marks added in different places in GE2 and GE3 must be arbitrary. In the main text we suggest that the pedal is held throughout the entire four-bar section, based on one chord, until the end of crescendo, which is natural in this context.
