The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Pedaling in Norton piece

on: March 30, 2011, 09:19:21 AM

Help! I'm working on Christopher Norton's "Too Cool" (from his Connections series, level 6), and I don't know what to do with the pedaling. The piece is simply marked 'con ped.'. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Any help would be gratly appreciated. Thanks!

Usually in Christopher Norton stuff, you can see clear chord changes. I've seen the piece before briefly in the Connections set, but don't remember off hand. Maybe try some pedalling when the left hand changes (if it has held chords), or maybe a bit of light pedal if there are a lot of changing notes throughout.
