Book excerpt: Although substantial research has been conducted on piano pedaling as it relates to certain works or composers, the sudden appearance of piano pedaling literature as a widespread pedagogical phenomenon has been given little consideration by scholars. During a relatively short period of time around the turn of the twentieth century, a significant amount of new literature on piano pedaling was written. This thesis focuses on pedaling treatises, articles, and exercises written from the 1890s to the 1930s and considers several important questions, including: what changes in the piano led to the sudden appearance of these sources, what the intended audience for this new literature was, what pedal techniques were being taught, and the forms of pedal notation that emerged from this literature. The appearance of technical literature for piano pedaling corresponds with what is now termed the "golden age" of the piano (because of the increasingly affordable mass produced piano) that reached its peak in 1909. As part of an exploration of the possible impetuses behind the appearance of this literature, the large-scale standardization of pedal mechanisms on modern grand pianos is detailed. I will examine four major treatises on piano pedaling. The first two, representing the beginning of this new pedagogical field in the late nineteenth century, are Hans Schmitt's The Pedals of the Piano-forte and Alexander Bukhovstev's Guide to the Proper Use of the Pianoforte Pedals. The other two twentieth-century treatises, representing the end of the corresponding "golden age" in piano pedaling literature, are Teresa Carreño's Possibilities of Tone Color By Artistic Use of Pedals and York Bowen's Pedalling the Modern Pianoforte. Articles on pedaling published from 1910 to 1930 in The Etude, the first music journal to focus on piano technique, are also considered, along with collections of piano literature created specifically for the purpose of teaching proper pedaling techniques. A larger issue regarding performance practice emerges through the study of these sources, with earlier authors attempting to codify a set of pedaling "rules," while twentieth-century authors increasingly emphasized the use of the pedal as a matter of individual taste and judgment.

Pedal use is a fundamental part of expressive piano playing. But proper pedaling skills are not easy to acquire. Thus, it is important that piano students become acquainted with the use of the three pedals as early as possible. The stopgap Introduction to Pedaling is a collectionof pieces adapted to all levels of manual dexterity, enabling learners to improve their mastery of both the musical function and technique of pedaling. The volume contains both individual and joint studies for the three pedals of modern pianos. In addition to ten selected pieces from Samuil Maykapar's Twenty Pedal Preludes (1937), Introduction to Pedal Studies includes keyboard music from four centuries, ranging from Johann Sebastian Bach to contemporary Hungarian composers. Pupils can thus encounter varying pedal marks from different periods. Of course, not all composers featured in the collection marked pedal use; in such cases, pedal signs were added by the editor. It is a recurrent question of interpretation whether pedals should be used in the music of earlier masters. The sound of the modern piano is far less vibrant and rich in overtones than that of the period instruments - thus, it is not Bach's music that necessitates pedal use so much as the piano itself.

Download or read book Pedaling Colors in Sound written by Katherine Faricy and published by Marymark Music. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedaling Colors In Sound: Lessons and Repertoire for Elementary Piano Students is a beautiful book of 40 pages of pieces using five pedaling techniques that can be easily mastered by beginning piano students - long damper pedals, simultaneous damper pedal, syncopated damper pedal, slow damper pedal releases, and also introduces use of the soft pedal (una corda). To help students acquire skills in each of these techniques, each lesson includes well-sequenced preparatory exercises. Because it is possible to teach several of the selections by rote, students are able to learn pedaling technique before they can read music. With the graded exercises and emphasis on tonal color, imagery and even improvisation, students develop a repertoire of appealing selections while adding the skill of pedaling. One of the underlying purposes of this book and the early teaching of pedaling is to place an emphasis on listening to the sonority of the instrument. The most important element in the use of the pedals is the development of a sharp and discerning ear, which will benefit all of one's playing. Just as visual artists must look at the canvas as they are painting, pianists must learn to listen to the quality and quantity of sound they create as they play. FEATURES Systematic approach Preparatory exercises for each pedal technique New short pieces that are fun and easy to learn Graphic pedal notation Charming illustrations Can be used along with any pedagogical methods and materials. Students of any level will find this helpful in developing a sound pedaling technique.
