Pedaling in Schubert Marches
on: May 29, 2013, 02:32:39 PM
I was reviewing the Schubert Marches for 4 hands today.
I know that the use of the pedal is always up to the people playing. I was wondering where you would use your pedal in:
Trois Marches Militaires Op. 51
Grande Marche Heroique Op. 66

Generally, these pieces don't need a lot of pedal, because of their character.
They are marches and must sound kind of staccato (I hope you understand what I mean, I can't find the right word right now...) and with too much pedal they will sound messy.
I can't tell you exactly where I could use the pedal... Maybe for the first beat of its bar to put emphasis on it. And in the middle movements, which are more lyrical, I would use it a little bit more, in every beat for example.
But, as you said, it's subjective and depends on the piano you are playing on.
