Piano Pedalling in Baroque and Classical piano repertoire 

Excellent instruction. What a marvelous teacher!

So much in love with these videos, I don’t play the piano, but understand it much deeper now

I also like how you explained that Germanic composers usually assumed you were going to do finger pedaling. People tend to forget things like that when they aren't written into the music, especially if they are not particularly educated on the specific style of music.

Thank you for providing a detailed lesson on finger pedaling for Baroque. I enjoy playing Bach, but it was difficult as a beginner to get started in this genre because I had not developed "good instincts" for Baroque. I hope you provide more articles specific to Baroque and Bach, especially if the topics address common problems. Baroque is magical to hear and rewarding to learn. Keep it up, Pianist Magazine!

Although we don't know whether or not Bach would have preferred pedaling, were it available to him, it seems unlikely that he would have been outright adverse to it. What I mean is, I feel it's unlikely he would neglect the full capabilities of an instrument! :)

Why are these WONDERFUL tutorials not listened to more often? Don’t people want to really become masters of the piano?

I do enjoy your videos. I've had several teachers over the years I took lessons and only my last teacher in college made me use no foot pedal when playing Bach and Scarlatti keyboard pieces. It forced me to learn legato fingering techniques, finger substitution techniques and finger pedaling. I like your bit about using a bit of touch pedal at times, though. :)

Another wonderful tutorial. Graham, I adore your interpretation of François Couperin - Les barricades mystérieuses. The best I’ve heard I’d love to hear a recording of it! I know you’d have at least one huge fan! And probably many others.

At 6:30-ish when the "hanging-on" of the notes is being explained: yes, I very much enjoy this technique. I would hold onto the note for the full length of the first beat and release on the downbeat of the second. As you implied, it's much more appeasing to the ear.

Such a beautiful piece goodness

excellent teaching on pedaling.

Great vid. Maybe it's my system, but I'm getting some distracting feedback or echo that is off-putting.

Beautiful.

Hi Graham, what happens when the music doesn't provide for pedalling. Can we know when it's wise or not?

Thank you for this. Just the video that I needed at this point in time.

your technique is great and would defitnitely help me when playing Baroque or Classical pieces. Thanks alot!!!

If there is any jangle in Prelude in C Minor, I love it.

wow~~Amazing, Thank you for providing this great lesson, even better than my teacher. Maybe I should suggest her to watch your video before teaching :)

Hi Teacher! Whats is the name of the music played in this lesson?

Очень нравится

But I heard this one guy, he said his trick is to wear a Hawaiian shirt when you play. I tried it and it changed my life. Maybe you should look into it.
