split damper pedal
on: September 08, 2006, 06:38:24 PM
I was watching a video on historical (Badura-Skoda), and I at some point they were talking a piano (I think it was a Broadwood?) with a split damper pedal.  This made it possible to play a staccato LH with a legato RH (or the opposite).  Was there a specific name for that type of pedal (I would call it a split damper), was it ever a "standard" practice,"  and how long were they being made/used?  Any information/resources would be appreciated.  New Grove didn't turn up much.  But maybe I just didn't look in the right place.
