  b. 18

No markings in As & CGS

 under 3rd quaver in A (→FC→GE) & FE2 (→EE)

 under 1st quaver in FE1

The absence of pedal markings in As and CGS – see the note in bar 17. The earlier placement of the  sign in FE1 is certainly due to an inapt interpretation of A wherein the letter 'p' actually starts already under the first quaver. The inaccuracy was corrected in FE2.
