Pedalling

b. 267-270

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Pedalling in EE & GC (→GE)

Pedalling in FE

Our variant suggestion
..

The pedalling of EE and GC (→GE) is definitely authentic. The pedalling of FE does not raise much doubt either, apart from the placement of the  mark in bar 267, which seems inaccurate (see the note to bar 259). We include the two versions of pedalling, both of them probably authentic, as variants.

b. 271

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No sign in EE & GC (→GE)

 in FE

Our variant suggestion
..

The  mark is only present in FE. Both versions of the pedalling are authentic and, in our opinion, equally valid, so we offer the variant solution in the main text.

b. 284

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No sign in EE

 in GC (→GE) & FE
..

The asterisk  was omitted in EE, probably by oversight.

b. 303

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 in EE

GC

FE

GE
..

The asterisk  is placed differently in different sources. We take the version of EE  as it is consistent with the notation of most analogous places and blends naturally with the notation of the rhythm.

b. 311-312

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 in EE & GC (→GE)

FE

Our variant suggestion
..

Both pedalling versions are undoubtedly authentic and here is why we suggest a variant.
