Reply To: footnotes in piano music

Dear Christina,

I'm sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you.

With the "pedal is optional" marking, I'd put it in as a normal footnote where it appears in print, and show the pedal markings normally.

I'd move the Schnabel-type annotations to numbered references and give them in a special section headed "Editorial Remarks" at the end of each piece. You can say on the TN page that "Editorial remarks are given after each piece."

I hope this helps.

Larry
