Pedalling

b. 67-76

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No pedalling in CLI

Pedalling in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

In bars 67-71 and 73-76 we give the undoubtedly authentic pedalling of FE (→GE,EE) in the main text.

b. 72

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No pedalling in CLI & FE (→GE1→GE2, →EE2→EE3)

Pedalling in GE3 (→GE4→GE5) & EE4

Our suggestion
..

Lack of pedalling in FE (→GE1→GE2,→EE2→EE3) seems to be a result of Chopin's oversight, therefore, in the main text we propose to complete it on the basis of the authentic pedalling in similar bar 70. This was already done in GE3 (→GE4→GE5) and EE4.

b. 77-79

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No pedalling in CLI

 in FE (→EE2)

  in GE & EE3 (→EE4)
..

In the main text we give the  sign visible in FE (→GE,EE) in bar 77. However, we do not include the  sign in bar 79, most probably added by revisers of GE and EE3 (→EE4). Leaving the end of a piece without the pedal release mark is quite often in Chopin's pieces and can offer some performance suggestions, cf., e.g., Etudes No. 7-9 or Nocturnes, Op. 27.
