Pedalling

b. 58-59

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

No markings in FE & GE

Pedalling in EE

Our variant suggestion
..

In our opinion, as far as the music is concerned, it is justified to perform bars 58-59 on one pedal as EE indicates in analogous bars 62-63, 66-67 and 70-71. It cannot be ruled out that the engraver of EE included this additional indication by mistake.

The remaining editions have no pedalling at all in this fragment.

b. 64-65

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

No markings in the sources

Pedal change suggested by the editors
..

The only source with pedal indications in this fragment, EE gives one two-bar long pedal in bars 64-65. According to us, it is recommended to change the pedal between the bars.
