Beethovens pathetique sonata
on: January 25, 2006, 12:15:40 PM

   Hey
   
   i recently began this sonata after finishing the tempest and also the 1st movements 
   of  op101 op 109 and 110....
   i learnt the last two movements of the pathetique within the last month relatively   easily and have played through the 1st movement but im not happy with the allegro molto...

ive a kwai piano(fairly good but not great).....but the tremelo's starting on the second page,they sound that with the broken chords in the right hand staccatto, that pedal is needed... but when adding the pedal the sound can get muddy..

  ive only played a few years and i know iv got the sonata almost complete but could i please ask for advice from all you experienced pianists on how you pedal the allegro molto..

your comments will be greatly appreciated

       thanks all,

           Matt haley

Theres no need to post this twice, its not going to get you any more replys.

as for pedal, have you learnt how to half pedal, don't put it all the way down all the time, this way you dont have to lift as often and it wont become as muddy.
