Pedalling

b. 3-8

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

No  in PE

 in b. 3 in GE

[] in b. 8 suggested by the editors

The missing  mark may correspond to the notation of [A] or even to Chopin's intention – such situations are very frequent in his pieces; what is more, they do not always result from inadvertence. However, in this case the notation may be misleading – a single  mark in such a harmonic, dynamic and pianistic context most probably means that the pedal should be held until the very end of the passage, which we specify in the main text with the help of a [] mark. However, the addition of a relevant mark in GE proves that not everyone considered such pedalling natural or even correct.

b. 9-24

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

Pedalling in b. 17-23 in sources

No markings in the main text

A comparison with the autographs of other Chopinesque Waltzes – except the non-finished ones or intended for bases for first editions – suggests that at least some of the markings present in PE (→GE) were probably added by the reviser of the original edition. As many as almost two-thirds of the autographs do not contain any pedal indications, while in the majority of the remaining ones they are proportionally less numerous than in the sources of the Waltz in E minor. Due to the above, in the main text we omit the markings in bars 17-23, which are a repetition of bars 9-15.

b. 41-55

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

Pedalling in sources

No markings in main text

..

The pedalling present in the sources was most probably added by the reviser of PE1 preparing the publication of the Waltz – see bars 9-24. As it simply repeats the pedalling that was already entered into analogous bars 9-15, we omit it in the main text.

In bars 65-71 and 73-74 the sources contain pedal markings. In the main text we omit them, since they were previously marked in analogous bars 57-64. See also bars 75-87.
