No markings in JC & EF

Pedalling in PE

In the main text we consider the pedalling of PE, which by all means seems to be authentic.

  in EF

The pedalling of EF, probably added by Fontana, is valid only in relation to the earlier version of the accompaniment written in JC and EF.

Generally, Chopin's pedalling aims at holding the bass note as a background for the later performed harmonic filling. Therefore, the omission of exactly the bass note in the pedalling of PE indicates an inaccurate recreation of the notation of [A]. In the main text we adopt the pedalling of EF, compatible with the principles followed by Chopin in this respect.

General coincidence of Chopin's pedalling in PE and the one added in EF indicates Fontana's good sense of Chopin's pedalling style. The minor difference in the positioning of  marks may, but does not have to, indicate a different performance, given that in the case of [A] (→PE), an inaccurate reading of the manuscript cannot be excluded.

We give pedalling markings after PE. In JC, they are completely absent, while in EF the  marking is placed slightly later.
