a) It is evident that the highest part, as the melody, requires a firmer touch than the accompanying
triplet - figUf6j and the first note in the latter must never produce the effect of a doubling of the mel
ody in the lower octave.
b) A more frequent use of the pedal than is marked by the editor, and limited here to the most essen·
tial passages, is allowablej it is not advisable, however, to take the orig-inal directions sen/pre 8e1lXa sordi,d
(L e.• without dampers) too literally.
