Pedalling

In bar 401, the  mark is placed in FE after the d​​​​​​​1-a1 crotchet, which is most probably an inaccuracy, since it cannot be justified in terms of sound. The notation was revised – in various ways – both in GE and EE. In the main text, we suggest yet another solution, combining harmonic purity with a high compliance with the original notation.

Just like in bars 197-198, the absence of the ​​​​​​​ mark in FE (→GE1→GE2) probably is not a mistake. The pedal is most probably supposed to be released at the end of bar 442 or at the beginning of bar 443, which may be suggested by the hold of the bass minim. The former was indicated in EE, whereas in GE3 there is no pedalling at all, which is most probably a mistake of the engraver. The mark suggested by us indicates an approximate moment of pedal release, leaving its specification to the discretion of the performer.

GE1 (→GE2) overlooked the ​​​​​​​ mark. The mistake was rectified in GE3.

In the main text, we suggest adding pedalling in the 2nd half of the bar. Discontinuation of marking pedalling in this place would suggest that the 2nd half of the bar should be performed differently than the first one, which seems to be unjustified in this context.
