Pedalling suggested by the editors |
In A, the pedal asterisks are irregularly distributed; moreover, it seems that they are accidental – the majority before the 3rd crotchet of a given half of the bar, yet some under (the 2nd one in b. 37) or after (the 2nd one in b. 38 and the 1st one in b. 39). Such a notation was not reproduced by FE; however, it is also here that the differences in the placement of the asterisks seem to be accidental – 5 out of 8 marks fall after the 3rd crotchet, while 3 under (in the 1st half of b. 36, 37 and 39). GE and EE tried to homogenise the placement of those marks:
- in GE all
were placed before the 3rd crotchet except the last one (in b. 39), which was printed under (it should be mentioned that some marks were placed inaccurately, hence it is difficult to determine whether they were to be placed before or under a given note); - in EE all were placed under the 3rd crotchet except the last one, which was printed after.
In the main text we suggest a notation that could be called an averaged notation of A – all under the 3rd or the 6th crotchet in the bar. We consider such a notation, compliant with the harmonic structure of this fragment, to be a contextual interpretation of the notation of A.
Similar problems are also to be found further on, in b. 40-43 and 138-144.
