Rachmaninoff Opus 23 No.6 pedal query
January 02, 2008, 10:09:57 PM by dignam

greetings

I started playing again about a year ago after a nearly 20 year hiatus and am now working on the Rach prelude Opus 23 No.6. I'm spending a lot of time working on keeping the left hand legato during the long phrases. I'm starting to put hands together and am naturally drawn to over pedal. Does anyone have some advice on how to pedal this piece without letting it get muddy? In the first bar is it better to use no pedal at all until the right hand comes it? Bars 23-24 and the chromatic phrases that follow take a particularly light touch on the pedal.

I'd love to get a teacher but I'm in a fairly rural area. I studied for years but that was years ago. I've read lots of great advice in these forums and that someone can spare the time to help me out.

many thanks in advance
