So now I'm practicing Chopin's etude from the "three nouvelles etudes" - the one in D-flat major where the RH plays both legato and staccato. I'm getting my piano tuned next week and may be ready to record this piece but I'm uncertain about pedaling. The edition I'm using is The Fryderyk Chopin Institute Polish Music Publications, edited by Paderewski. Inside, it says that it follows mostly the exact markings from Chopin's original manuscripts and made only some very slight adjustments when the difference in the modern piano's resonance is taken into consideration. So basically, what you see in my score (shown below) are pedal markings indicated by Chopin.
My question is, if you follow the markings exactly, then the lower notes in the RH don't sound staccato at all, which defeats the purpose of the etude in the first place, doesn't it? I just don't want to be accused of sounding too 'notey' or too much pedal and not enough 'notey-sounding' (detached) etc...
