Pedalling

b. 288

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

 on 3rd beat in FE

 on 2nd beat in GE

2  in EE
..

A comparison with analogous bars 287 and 303-304 points to an inaccurate placement of the  mark in FE (→EE). A corresponding correction was introduced already in GE. In turn, in EE, another  mark was added at the beginning of the bar, which is both an arbitrary and incomprehensible revision if we take into account the compliance with the harmonic course, confirmed in the analogous bars.

In FE, the missing  after the  mark in bar 389 is most probably an oversight (of Chopin or of the engraver), since there are no reasons for the notation to deviate from the remaining, similar fragments. The mark was added already in GE and EE. See also bars 394-395.

The missing pedal change at the transition between the bars must be an inadvertence. Consequently, inaccuracies in pedalling marks may be assumed also in bars 390, 398 and 399, although in that cases, they do not suggest an erroneous performance. A corresponding addition was introduced both in GE and EE (in the latter, inaccurately).

No sign in FE (→GE1→GE2)

The missing ​​​​​​​ mark was probably unintended by Chopin. The addition we suggest is justified by the authentic pedalling of other fragments of a similar texture, e.g. bars 155-161. An identical addition was introduced in EE and GE3.

In the main text, we suggest adding a ​​​​​​​ mark before the upcoming harmonic change. A mark in the same place was added both in GE and EE.
