Beethoven Sonata 27, Op. 90 pedaling?

[chopianista]

Hello all! I've finally joined pianostreet after reading all of your wonderful advice for a long time now. 
I need some help with the Beethoven Sonata I'm working on. Can anyone clarify what pedaling to use for the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Sonata 27, Op. 90? This is actually the first Beethoven Sonata I've ever seriously studied, so it's a bit of a challenge, but definitely worth it.

This type of movement would be a complete nightmare to describe. I wouldn't like to attempt anything in detail. Basically, there's not much that can be said, except that you need to do most of the legato with the fingers. Almost all of the pedals used would be very short and very few would go right to the bottom of the sustain pedal. Even in the chorale like passage with l.h. triplets, I wouldn't use a full pedal through each harmony. I tend to flutter the pedal to maintain clarity in the left hand. As a general rule, start by using tiny pedals only where the fingers cannot do anything to make joins. From there, you'll have to experiment to see where else it can be benefit.
