Pedalling

b. 515

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

No marking in FE

​​​​​​​ in GE & EE
..

In FE, the absence of a ​​​​​​​ mark, ending the pedal depressed at the beginning of bar 514, must be considered an inaccuracy in this context. The mark was added in GE and EE.

b. 526-528

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

Pedalling in bar 526 & 528 in FE (→EE)

No markings in bar 528 in GE

Our variant suggestion
..

Missing pedalling indications in bar 528 (as well as in 529) in GE may mean that Chopin added them only just in the last proofreading of FE. In spite of that, the pedalling of FE (→EE) raises doubts – in all three analogous places (bars 155-157, 171-173 and 510-512), pedal depressed at the beginning of the theme is held incessantly to the closest harmonic change. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a variant solution, in which, if we include the markings in brackets, we obtain the actual pedalling of FE and if we omit them – the authentic pedalling of the analogous phrase in exposition (bars 171-173).

b. 529

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

No markings in GE
..

Like in bar 528, the pedalling could have been added in the last proofreading of FE (→EE), which explains its absence in GE.

b. 567

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

​​​​​​​under 3rd semiquaver in FE (→EE)

​​​​​​​ under minim in GE
..

The shift of the ​​​​​​​ mark most probably resulted from lack of space in [A] ​​​​​​​under the stem of the minim in the L.H. In GE, the mark was placed in accordance with the pianistic sense, i.e. at the beginning of the bar.

b. 569

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

 on 3rd beat in FE (→EE)

​​​​​​​ at end of bar i EE1
..

In this bar, there is no musical reason to release pedal earlier than in the previous bars. Therefore, the notation of FE (→EE) is inaccurate, most probably due to lack of space under the octave in bar 570 in [A], which forced the placement of the  mark still at the end of bar 569 and, consequently, a respective shift of the  asterisk. In GE1 (→GE2), the notation is less misleading – the  mark was placed directly before ​​​​​​​.
