Pedalling

b. 223

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 in FE

No mark in EE & GC (→GE)
..

The fact that  is missing both from EE and from GC (→GE) suggests that the asterisk was already omitted in the autograph.

issues: Errors in EE , Errors of GC

b. 226

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 in EE and GC

FE

GE
..

For our main text we take the  mark placed mid-bar, according to EE and GC, being the two out of three sources that could have been based on the autograph.

issues: Inaccuracies in GE

b. 228-229

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 in EE & GC (→GE)

 in FE
..

As there is no reason for the pedalling in this passage to differ from that in analogous bars 183-185, we give precedence to the version of EE and GC (→GE).

b. 232

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 

GC (→GE) & FE
..

In the main text we give  after GC (→GE) and FE. Each of those two sources is probably autograph-based.

b. 244-245

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No pedal change in EE, GC (→GE) & FE

Our alternative suggestion
..

Our suggestion for adding pedal marks results from comparison with subsequent, similar passages. In similar fragments (bars 252-253, 260-261 and 268-269) pedal changes are noted in some sources (FE).
