Pedalling
b. 699

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
Taking into account the authentic pedalling of b. 693-695, we assume that the missing pedal in b. 699 is a result of Chopin's inadvertence or haste in proofreading FE. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

An earlier pedal change in FC (→GE) is a result of inaccuracy of the copyist, who probably considered the notation of A to be inaccurate. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FC |

In A the R.H. quavers in these bars are written later than the L.H. part notation indicates, which is one of the reasons hampering the interpretation of the pedalling markings. The marks begin under the 1st R.H. quaver but they end already after the last L.H. crotchet, which the majority of the sources reproduced as a mark on the 3rd beat of the bar. Such a pedalling unnecessarily – contrary to cresc. – impoverishes the sound, since, differently than in the previous bars, the first two quavers of each of the passages do not form the chord built with pedal. Therefore, in the main text we keep in these bars the pedalling model from the previous passages, which is pianistically natural and compliant with the notation of A. Such a solution was adopted in GE2, whereas GE3 restored the notation of FC (→GE1). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Inaccuracies in FC , Inaccuracies in A |
