That bit at 10:40 was just bliss. I just want you to play that in concert and I'll just sit there and feel all happy inside.

Thank you for clearing up this mystery for me. I always wondered about the more efficient way to add sustain to Mozart without sounding muddy. I have a little more conviction to begin practicing this technique now.

A friend of mine - a pianist of incredible talent - once asked me to play for him a selection of Chopin Etudes. He told me that I was over-using the pedal. He then played the same pieces with hardly any pedal. The pieces sounded so much better. Crisper, cleaner. He said he was taught finger pedalling and that his piano teacher often made him play without any pedal at all. To this day I still have trouble with finger pedalling. I find it disarmingly difficult.

This is a great demonstration and explanation on how to perform the Baroque Era keyboard works. I have questions on playing Bach's 2 part Inventions. How should one play them -- with or without use of the damper pedal? Should you use finger pedaling techniques like your showing in this video? Can you make a video specifically on how to play the Inventions? Thanks.

Without the damper pedal. This way, the counterpoint will shine.

What do you mean by the jangle upsetting sensitive ears?

With no pedal, fingering or otherwise, it’s rather percussive. You hear the attack of each note, and since each note is the same duration, it’s mechanical, thus “jangly.” If you pedal, certain notes (the first in every group of four, in this Bach prelude) will be sustained, making for a smoother sound. If you do it right, those sustained notes will create a “singing” effect as you connect them. That I think is what Chopin meant by “cantabile.” In Bach, it helps create a “melody” out of notes that are not necessarily side by side with each other. You hit a loud note, sustain it as you play a soft arpeggio, then hit another loud note, sustain that as you play another soft arpeggio. Repeat a couple a times and soon those loud notes become a melody and the soft ones become a pleasing accompaniment. That’s on piano, where you can actually play loud and soft. On harpsichord, where you don’t have control over dynamics, you use articulation or this finger pedaling technique to create a similar effect.

Pfff...Go say it to Sviatoslav Richter!...His WTC is the best one ever recorded and he used pedal for every slow piece of it. There is no such stupid rule : what matters is the result. It can be good with the pedal and very bad without it, and vice-versa... That's so obvious, I should't even be writing it --'

No 'real' pianist would this? Nor treat your advice as gospel, either.
