Difficulty sustaining LH chords in Beethoven's 5th sonata 2nd movement.

[divided_loyalties]

Please let me know if I have to post a link to the sheet music somewhere. I'm new to the forums and I'm rather unsure as to whether it's normal posting etiquette to attach an image of sorts to clarify posts of this nature.

In the first B section (The movement follows a very loose Rondo ABABA form in which the second and third A sections are slightly altered and the second B modulates to a different key) the RH must play a series of tuplet runs accompanied by seemingly simplistic, repeated eighth-note chords. Now the runs I have no problem with, but my main issue is with playing the LH chords SUPER SUPER legato as to not break the general tone of the piece. Pedalling is out of the question, since it smears the runs terribly.

To sum up, I really want to create a sustainer pedal-effect in the LH in that particular section, without having to use the pedal itself.

Any advice?

Mind your fingering and keep your fingers on the keys for repeated notes.
