composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No markings in A (→FE→EE)

One-bar pedalling in FC (→GE)

Two-bar pedalling, our alternative suggestion
..

In the main text we give the pedalling entered by Chopin into FC (→GE). We provide justification for the suggested alternative version in the note to analogous b. 115-116.

b. 263-264

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

 end of bar 264 in A (→FE,FC→GE)

 beginning of bar 263 in EE
..

The  asterisk was shifted in EE, probably under the influence of analogous b. 130-132.

b. 326-330

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No pedalling in A

  in bars 328 & 330 in FC (→GE1)

  in bars 326 & 328 in FE (→EE)

3 times   in GE2 (→GE3)
..

A comparison with analogous b. 428-432 proves that the complementary pedalling markings in b. 326, 328 and 330, added by Chopin in FC and FE, are to be considered jointly; the second time Chopin added three pedals in each of the two sources. A proper addition was also introduced in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 348

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

  in A (→FE→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

No markings in FC (→GE1)
..

In the main text we include the   markings written in A (→FE→EE). Their absence in FC (→GE1), in which the pedalling of the eight-bar section encompassing this bar (b. 346-357) was also written by Chopin, is, according to us, a result of the composer's inattention (cf. b. 448-459).
In GE2 (→GE3) the pedalling was added on the basis of a comparison with analogous bars.
