It cannot be ruled out that Chopin indeed envisioned the entire four-bar section being performed with one pedal, in spite of the harmonic change in b. 21. It would emphasize the unifying function of the ostinato, quartal mixture in the bass. On the other hand, it is that very constant bass motif that could have confused Chopin, who, while adding pedalling markings (in haste? – cf. the erroneous pedalling markings in the Prelude No. 19 in E Major, b. 26-27), could have been following the bass line only. Due to the above reason, in the main text we suggest a possible pedal change at the beginning of b. 21. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in GE , Errors of FC |
