Pedalling

b. 5

composition: Op. 25 No 2, Etude in F minor
..
There is no pedalling in the previous sources. While preparing the Etude for print, Chopin most probably would add indications in three Stichvorlage manuscripts, which is directly proven by GC (the signs are written with Chopin's hand), and indirectly also by CDP, probably reflecting the state of [A] before the last retouch and additions. Hence, the earlier pedal release in FE cannot be considered a mistake, as analogous bars 24 and 55 are marked in the same way. In the main text, we give the possibly later notation of GC (→GE) and EE – cf. bar 24. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections in GC |

Despite the presence of indications in AW, it seems that the pedalling in GC and other Stichvorlage manuscripts, including [A], was added by Chopin in the last phase of preparations of base texts for edition, which explains its absence in CDP. Similarly in bar 30. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections in GC |

There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the pedalling added in this bar probably in proofreading of FE. However, the omission of the respective indication in the remaining sources and no pedalling, in all sources, in analogous bar 31 make us suggest a variant solution. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

Chopin added the pedalling in bar 16 in GC (→GE) and most probably in the base text to EE. The pedalling in both these bars in FE could have been a result of Chopin proofreading of this edition. After all, it is highly likely that we are dealing only with a difference in notation, as Chopin could have thought applying the pedalling of bar 16 in its literal repetition to be obvious. Similarly in analogous bars 35-36 and 39-40. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections in GC |
