Pedal book

on: March 03, 2002, 04:00:10 AM

I just wanted to recommend a book on pedaling that might interest other forum members. It's "The Pianist's Guide to Pedaling" by Joseph Banowetz. It contains a wealth of information on the use of pedals and many, many examples. I'm only about half-way through it and it's already been a real eye opener. Pedaling seems to be one of the most misunderstood aspects of the piano. This book has given me new insight on the whole topic. I highly recommend it.

I agree. There have been few books published on pedaling over the years. Banowetz's book is well researched and full of insights, tricks of the trade, and ideas. It's a book to be read, and also serves as a fine reference work. I believe it's still in print, and is particularly useful to advanced students.
