Pedalling

b. 2-14

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

No pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE (→GE1GE1a)

GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) & EE

Our suggestion

Our alternative suggestion

..

The pedal markings added in a proofreading of FE in bars 2, 6 and analog. differ in the placement of the pedal release's mark, which in bars 2 and 14 (as well as in 50) is under the 3rd quaver of the bar, while in bar 6 – under the 2nd one. According to us, it cannot be excluded that Chopin had a different vision of pedalling in bars 1-2 and 9-10 (the first bar of the pair without pedal and in the second one, a half-bar long pedal) and a different one in bars 5-6 and 13-14 (all bars with a pedal to the 2nd quavers). We suggest this possibility, in which the  mark in bar 14 must be considered as misplaced, in the main text. As an alternative, we give a homogeneous pedalling in bars 2, 6 and analog., in which  always falls in the middle of the bar (it requires to assume that  in bar 6 was written by mistake).

b. 3-11

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

No pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE (→GE1)

GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5)

Our alternative suggestion

..

Pedalling in bar 3 and analog., added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE, is inconsistent (bars 3 and 51 have all marks, yet they are differently distributed) and partially incomplete (in bar 11 there is only the  sign at the beginning of the bar). The second  sign in bar 3, misplaced in FE (→EE), is interpreted by us as falling on the 4th quaver in the bar; it was equally recreated in GE. In the main text we give a pedalling addition in bar 11 on the basis of bar 3, a similar action was taken in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5). As an alternative solution, in both bars we propose a pedalling based on bar 51.

b. 4-12

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

No pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE (→GE,EE)

..

In bars 4 and 12 we give the pedalling added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). What is striking is the fact, if we trust FE, that in analogous bar 52 Chopin wrote different indications.

b. 5-13

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

No pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE

..

Chopin added the pedalling in bars 5 and 13 in a proofreading of FE. At the same time, the  mark in bar 13 was omitted, which is certainly a mistake (of Chopin or the engraver). The missed sign was added in GE, after bar 5, and in EE, in which, however, the  mark was placed in the middle of the bar. In the main text we add the sign after the most probably authentic pedalling in bar 5.

b. 7

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

No pedalling in AFE (→GE,EE2)

Pedalling in EE3 (→EE4)

Our suggestion

..

A comparison with similar bar 15 suggests that the lack of pedalling in this bar may be a result of an oversight. Such a conclusion was already reached by the reviser of EE3 (→EE4).
