Pianissimo

on: January 08, 2011, 09:14:02 PM

Ok so I'm playing the Rachmaninoff Moment Musicaux No.5, and at the end there is a part where it is suppossed to be extremely quiet, almost like bells chiming softly in the background. And I know how I want it to sound, but I just can't seem to get that effect. Help?

If you know how you want it to sound, then do it. There's not much more to tell you. Experiment with different pedaling techniques, your touch, how you approach the keys. There's no straight answer except to use whatever means possible.
