Issues : Authentic corrections in GC

in bar 198 is the last sign of pedalling, added and non-deleted by Chopin in GC (in the middle of the next bar one can see a deleted sign, which could have been a asterisk). It is hard to decide what the reason for stopping the entries could have been, yet the most likely answer seems to be distraction. In any case, it certainly does not mean that one should stop using the pedal. In the main text we add indications on the basis of the authentic pedalling in similar bars 70-80. In GE1 the last written sign was considered to be a mistake and hence omitted, it was however reinstated in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , No pedal release mark , Authentic corrections in GC |

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

The ending of the Ballade has a few versions proving Chopin's hesitations. We present them below in a chronological order:
As it can be seen, Chopin had two main concepts of the Ballade's endings, "open" and "close." According to us, it is the version No. 1 that presents the first of them in the most thoughtful manner, while in the case of the latter it is the version No. 4. In the main text we give the version No. 1, enriched with variant, characteristic for Chopin grace note added in GC. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Chopin's hesitations , Errors resulting from corrections , Terzverschreibung error , Deletions in A , Authentic corrections of FE , Errors of GC , Authentic corrections in GC |

The hairpin was probably added in GC by Chopin. The missing sign in GE is certainly a mistake of the engraver who perhaps was not sure where to put the sign. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections in GC |
