Pedalling

b. 235-236

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Pedalling in A & GE2

No markings in FE (→EE)

No markings in b. 235 in GE1

Our variant suggestion

..

The missing pedal markings in GE1 must be an oversight (bar 235 ends a page, which is conducive to defects; in this case the engraver's distraction also included the preceding bar – see the note on the slur and ). On the other hand, one can doubt whether the marks that are absent in FE (→EE) in both bars were overlooked as well. Such a scenario would be supported by the layout – the bars are at the end of a line (2 lines below the final part of the great stave is also devoid of pedalling, without an objective reason). On the other hand, harmonically speaking, these markings are not necessary, since the bass notes are held with the fingers. Therefore, it is likely that Chopin removed them in [FC] or while proofreading FE. Due to this reason, in the main text we leave the inclusion of these markings to the discretion of the performer.
See also the note in the next bar.

b. 236-237

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

2 half-bar-long pedals in A (→GE)

Half-bar-long pedal in b. 237 in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion

..

Out of the 27 half-bar accompaniment figures in three appearances of this theme (bars 68-72, 155-159 and 235-239), it is only in three of them that a change of the chord on which the figuration is based occurs in the middle of the figure, that is on the 4th quaver. The first time (bar 69) Chopin considered it in the pedal markings, whereas the next two times, right in the discussed bars, he did not. According to us, it is the composer's oversight, most probably resulting from haste in refining the manuscript (pedal markings were generally added to the finished text, in terms of rhythm and pitch, as one of the last elements of notation). Due to the above, in the main text we suggest a variant solution, with a possibility of releasing (changing) the pedal after the 1st triplet in each figure.

b. 276

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

  in A (→GE)

No markings in FE (→EE)

..

In this bar the pedal markings could have been added to A (→GE) after [FC] had been finished. However, since the markings are fully compliant both in the preceding and following fragments, the absence of pedalling in FE (→EE) could have also resulted from an oversight.

b. 279

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

after quaver in A (→GE) & FE

before quaver in EE

..

The A (→GE) and FE pedal markings, resulting in a momentary overlapping of harmonies, are, according to us, inaccurate. Due to the above, in the main text we provide markings modelled after analogous bar 283. A similar change was also introduced by EE.

b. 291-293

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Pedalling in A (→GE)

No markings in FE (→EE)

..

Chopin most probably added pedal markings to A after [FC] had been finished, which explains their absence in FE (→EE).
