Pedalling

..
The used by Chopin in [A] (→GC) abbreviated notation of bars 12-13 (both in the part of the L.H., only the first one in the part of the R.H.) raises doubts concerning the pedalling issues. According to us, it seems to be most justified to adopt that the indications are to be in bars 11-12, but not in bar 13. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The pedalling in Amar is certainly earlier and already at the time of writing this fragment Chopin realised that it is better not to change pedal in the bars based on one harmony – he deleted the pedal change in bar 34. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |

The change of pedal in the middle of the bar is, according to us, a mistake of the engraver of FE (→EE), who confirmed the pedalling of the previous bar. All similar bars – bars 31, 33, 39 and 41 – include a compatible, whole-bar pedalling in the sources. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |

No pedal in the 1st half of the bar must be considered to be Chopin's oversight – in the entire middle section of Marche, the harmonic pedalling is meticulously marked. A similar conclusion was reached by the revisers of FE5 and GE2mar (→GE2). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , FE revisions |

Due to the abbreviations used in the manuscripts (in bars 12-13) in the notation of bars 66 and 67, it is not clear in how many bars Chopin wanted to mark the pedalling. The possibilities of interpretation of the notation of [A], conveyed most probably by GC, were discussed in the first section of Marche – see bars 11-13. As far as the editions are concerned, only GE2mar and GE2 repeated the version from bars 11-14 here (different ones). FE (→EE) includes pedaling in up to four bars, which is certainly a mistake (cf. bar 68), while GE1 presents one of possible interpretations of GC. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |
