b. 102-104

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

Pedalling in FC & GE2

Pedalling in GE1

No markings in FE (→EE)

Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

The pedalling added by Chopin to FC in bars 102-103 could be inaccurate, as indicated by a comparison with the markings – also Chopinesque – present in analogous bars 6-7. The reason for the inaccuracies may lie in haste, visible, e.g. in the careless handwriting. Taking into account the above, in the main text we suggest the pedalling of bars 6-7, which is better thought out.
In GE1 the FC pedalling in bars 102 and 104 was inaccurately reproduced, which was corrected in GE2.

d tied in FC (→GE)

d repeated in FE (→EE)
..

As in bars 9-10, the missing tie to d is most probably a mistake by FE (→EE).

b. 110-111

Pedalling in FC (→GE)

No markings in FE (→EE)

Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the pedal markings added by Chopin to FC could be inaccurate in this case. In the main text we suggest the probably more carefully added markings of FC in bars 6-7 (also by Chopin).
