Pedalling

b. 2-6

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

No pedalling in A1 (→FEEE)

Pedalling in GE1

Pedalling in GE2

Pedalling suggested by the editors

..

The pedalling markings in b. 2, 4 and 6, added by Chopin in [A2] or in the proofreading of GE1, were most probably reproduced inaccurately, since it is difficult to assume that the pedal should be released differently in b. 2 and 4. Therefore, in the main text we suggest an averaged notation, although in both cases the pedal could actually be held throughout the entire bar. Consequently, the change introduced in GE2 is justified in this case.

b. 19-20

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

No pedalling in A1 (→FEEE)

Pedalling in GE

Our variant suggestion

..

Due to the following reasons, in the main text we include the pedalling of GE in a variant form only:

  • the  asterisk in b. 19 is almost certainly misplaced;
  • harmonic pedalling is not necessary here, since the notes forming part of the harmonic base are held with fingers.

There is a similar situation in b. 50-51 and 94-95.

b. 25

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

No pedalling in A1 (→FEEE)

Pedalling in GE

..

Like in b. 19-20, in the main text we give the pedalling of GE in a variant form; it could have been written by Chopin in haste. The same applies to b. 56 and 100.

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

No pedalling in A1 (→FEEE)

Pedalling in GE1

Pedalling in GE2

Our variant suggestion

..

Due to the reasons explained in analogous b. 19-20, in the main text we give the pedalling of GE in a variant form only. At the same time, we include the correction of the placement of the  mark in b. 50, introduced in GE2.

b. 56

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

No pedalling in A1 (→FEEE)

Pedalling in GE

Our variant suggestion

..

Just like in b. 25, in the main text we give the pedalling of GE, perhaps entered hastily, only in a variant form.
