Chopin was a real pioneer in using pedals. He said, "The correct use of pedals is a lifelong learning process." Paying attention to the learning and application of pedals has become the knowledge of pianists, piano teachers and students. As a piano boy, you should naturally pay enough attention to it and form good habits from the beginning ~

First, the use of pedals skills

The depth and time of stepping are two basic skills of pedal operation.

1, divided by the tread depth.

(1) Full pedal, that is, stepping to the bottom, is the most commonly used basic stepping method. At this point, the damper is fully opened, the strings are in a state of free vibration, and the sound continues to be coherent.

(2) Half pedal, when the pedal is halfway up, you can quickly step on it. If you want the bass to disappear slower than the treble, you can choose this stepping mode. This can play the bass for a long time, while the treble has a pure effect.

(3)3 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4. The pedaling mode of these pedals can't be completely marked by marks, but can only be determined by the player's understanding of the music content and the cooperation between kung fu and listening. This kind of trampling method is very difficult.

2, divided by the time to step down

(1) The rhythm pedal is also called the stress pedal. Press the pedal when playing a chord, change it just before playing the next chord, and then press the pedal when making sounds with this chord.

This kind of trampling method is often used in cheerful music to increase the volume of the sound and produce rich * * * effects.

(2) After the sound pedal, also known as the sound pedal, because stepping on the foot seems to be the opposite. The back pedal can keep the continuity of the front and back tones, make the harmony more coherent and enrich the melody, so it is also called "Legato pedal"

(3) The front pedal, also known as the preparatory pedal. Before pronouncing, all pedals are put down, so that the whole damper is turned on, overtones and * * * vibrations occur at the same time, resulting in a feeling of emptiness and full sound effects when making sounds.

(4) The vibrato pedal, also known as the jitter pedal, is a pedal that vibrates for half a turn continuously and rapidly. This method makes the pedal shake quickly and shallowly, and uses the Tik Tok pedal to make the damper rub the strings, so that the whole sound is rich but not stiff and dry.
