24 Préludes, Op. 28: IV. In E Minor - Chopin

on: January 10, 2011, 12:34:49 AM

My teacher just handed me this, I could wait two days and ask him, but I'm getting impatient, and would like to meet the mark he set for me by my next lesson. When I get to the first wavier in the melody, "A, B, D, C, E, A, F#," there's no pedaling for the baseline. Consequently, the chord in the left hand sounds like "BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK," until the pedaling kicks back in. Pedaling that measure soothes it quite a bit, but you have to pedal each note, and besides, it's not written that way (at least not on the copy I have).

I was hoping for some advice and correction.

Thanks,

Aaron
