Yujing Zhang · Journal of Suzhou University · 2008
Pedal is called the soul of piano.The piano has three pedals,among which the application of loud pedal is the most odvious.Through attempts and efforts of musicians over the past hundreds of years,the application of loud pedal becomes all the more complex,and the effect is so meticulous that the timbre becomes melodious and moving.The use of long pedal is one of the aspects that can not be neglected.It is common to see that musicians pedal for a long time to achieve some effect.Analyzing the works of musicians from Bach to that of the 20 th century,we could find that composers consciously use long pedals on a large scale to express their feelings and state of mind.There are also some unexpected examples of the application of long pedal with wonderful effect.This paper attempts to discuss the application of long pedal in the piano performance through some example in reality and personal opinions.
