Pedalling

b. 153-154

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

Pedal in bar 153 in AF (→FE→EE)

Pedal in bars 153-154 in GE

Our variant suggestion
..

Chopin was consistent in writing shorter pedalling in AF (→FE→EE) – cf. b. 149-152. The notation adopted in the main text should be understood as variant, i.e. the pedal released at the end of b. 153 or only just in b. 154.

b. 189-191

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

No markings in AI, AF (→FE→EE) & GE2

Pedalling in GE1
..

The pedalling markings are almost certainly an improvement introduced by Chopin in [AG] (→GE1). The absence of the marks in GE2 is probably a result of the engraver's oversight.
