In A, the pedal asterisks are irregularly distributed; moreover, it seems that they are accidental – the majority before the 3rd crotchet of a given half of the bar, yet some under (the 2nd one in b. 37) or after (the 2nd one in b. 38 and the 1st one in b. 39). Such a notation was not reproduced by FE; however, it is also here that the differences in the placement of the asterisks seem to be accidental – 5 out of 8 marks fall after the 3rd crotchet, while 3 under (in the 1st half of b. 36, 37 and 39). GE and EE tried to homogenise the placement of those marks:

In A, the L.H. slurs, although written with a flourish, clearly encompass only the 2nd and 3rd crotchet in each half of the bar. In spite of that, in FE (→GE,EE) the slurs also encompass the 1st crotchet, which expresses the inclination of the engravers to adjust the range of slurs (and dynamic hairpins too) to the rhythmic structures, in this case halves of bars. See also the note to b. 36. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Embracing slurs |

As in b. 37-39, FE (→GE,EE) misinterpreted the range of the L.H. slur of A in the 2nd half of the bar (the slur in the 1st half was reproduced correctly). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Embracing slurs |

As in the previous bars, FE (→GE) erroneously reproduced the majority of the L.H. slurs – instead of from the 2nd or the 5th crotchet in the bar, they begin earlier, from the 1st or the 4th crotchet. It was only the second slur in b. 41 that was reproduced in accordance with A. EE homogenised the slurs by making the only authentic slur resemble the remaining ones. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE |
were placed before the 3rd crotchet except the last one (in b. 39), which was printed under (it should be mentioned that some marks were placed inaccurately, hence it is difficult to determine whether they were to be placed before or under a given note);
