Pedalling

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Pedalling in GE

Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

According to us, holding changing chords on one pedal, as marked in GE, cannot correspond to Chopin's intention in this context. Therefore, it is probably a mistake of the engraver or even of Chopin himself, who, when adding, probably in a hurry, the pedaling in [A], could take into account only the bass note. Due to the above reason, in the main text we suggest supple­ment­ing this pedalling accordingly.
