Issues : No pedal release mark

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

In the main text we suggest adding a asterisk at the end of the bar. Chopin probably considered this bar an ending of the piece (movement), where he would often omit a pedal release mark. We consider it necessary to add this mark, not so much due to the need of releasing pedal before Alla Polacca starts, but to prevent possible earlier changes of pedal, which almost certainly were not intended by Chopin. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: No pedal release mark |

The missing mark does not have to be considered a mistake – such a notation is to be found on several occasions in Chopin's pieces (e.g. in the autograph of the Etude in D Major, Op. 25 No. 8, bars 19-20). The marks we suggest are the earliest and latest possible – due to harmonic reasons – moments of pedal release. It was already EE that considered the notation of FE to be inaccurate; in turn, an additional omission of the mark is probably a mistake of GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Errors in GE , No pedal release mark |

It is not clear how the difference in pedal markings arose between GC (→GE) and FE. Possible are both the oversight of by the engraver of FE and the mistaken placement of the sign by the copyist. Chopin also could have crossed out in [A] after GC had been prepared. Considering the authenticity and chronology of the two source versions as uncertain we suggest a variant solution in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: No pedal release mark |

We consider the omission of the mark in this bar by Chopin an oversight, and in the main text we suggest a in a harmonically natural place. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: No pedal release mark |

In A there is no asterisk after the sign in the middle of the bar. This oversight, frequent in Chopin's works, unnoticed perhaps due to the end of the page in A, could have also contributed to the erroneous interpretation of the sign as in GE (→FE→EE). In EE were added, most probably on the basis of the authentic pedalling in analogous bar 135. The pedalling was added also in GE2, although only in the incomplete version of A; the sign was also preserved, in spite of the fact that it is not included in A. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , No pedal release mark |
