Pedalling

b. 31-32

composition: Op. 25 No 10, Etude in B minor

No signs in GC (→GE) & EE

Pedalling in FE
..

The pedalling – here and in the entire middle section except for bar 35 – was added by Chopin most probably in the proofreading of FE. Cf. bars 34, 39-40, 42, 59-60, 62, 79-80 and 82.
Providing exactly these chords with pedal was undoubtedly related to their span – sustaining all elements of the chord may be infeasible for an average hand, which requires pedal in order to maintain the sound of the bass notes.

Our suggestion
..

Omission of the pedalling signs in FE in bar 80 is certainly an oversight (cf. bars 31-32), therefore, in the main text we suggest to complete them after all previous analogous bars.
