Pedalling

b. 3-4

composition: Op. 63 No. 3, Mazurka in C# minor

2  in FE (→EEW) & GE2 (→GE3)

No markings in GE1
..

The missing  marks in GE1 must be an oversight, corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 8-12

composition: Op. 63 No. 3, Mazurka in C# minor

 before 3rd beat of b. 8 & 12 in FE (→GE)

 after 3rd beat in EEW
..

The  marks having been placed in bars 8 and 12 after the 3rd crotchet is probably an inaccuracy by the engraver of EEW, who did not realise the change of chord on the 3rd beat of these bars.

GE1 does not include a  mark in this bar. It must be an oversight by the engraver, corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 31

composition: Op. 63 No. 3, Mazurka in C# minor

 on the 3rd beat in FE (→GE1,EEW)

 before 3rd beat in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The shift of  in GE2 (→GE3) is a revision unifying the position of this mark with the previous bars or a mistake by the engraver.

b. 62

composition: Op. 63 No. 3, Mazurka in C# minor

No  in FE

 on the 3rd beat of the bar in GE2 (→GE3)

 before 3rd beat of the bar in EEW

Our variant suggestion
..

In GE and EEW the absence of  in FE was considered a mistake, and two pedal release moments were suggested – after the 2nd beat in EEW and on the 3rd beat in GE. In the main text we suggest an even longer pedal; however, we leave the final decision concerning the pedalling in this fragment to the performer.
