			<description><![CDATA[<p>Many digital keyboards, software, etc., foster the use of a discrete on/off instead of a continuously valued sustain pedal.&nbsp; Pianoteq supports both.&nbsp; My QRS PNOscan supports both, but it takes the not-user-friendly utility WinNessie to change the default &quot;bang-bang&quot; sustain pedal that is either on or off to a continuous range.</p><p>Once you&#039;ve got that continuous sustain pedal (or for inspiration to do so), here are some excellent &quot;Pedal Technique&quot; videos by Graham Fitch for Pianist Magazine:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV1GW3PGx8o&amp;index=1&amp;list=RDBV1GW3PGx8o">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV1GW3P...V1GW3PGx8o</a><br />Basic pedalling video, including setting the pedal BEFORE playing, to open the piano for big resonant tones, direct up-and-down simultaneous keying and pedalling in order to maximize the piano&#039;s resonance, and three ways to pedal waltz rhythms.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_d8oask2VU&amp;index=2&amp;list=RDBV1GW3PGx8o">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_d8oas...V1GW3PGx8o</a><br />Legato pedalling, which is what most people think pedalling is.&nbsp; It is also known as syncopated pedalling, and was popularized by Liszt in the late 1800s.&nbsp; Discusses the good and the bad.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5uiyX77agg&amp;list=RDBV1GW3PGx8o&amp;index=6">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5uiyX7...mp;index=6</a><br />&quot;Finger Pedalling&quot; in Baroque and Classical music - don&#039;t &#039;clutter up&#039; your playing with too much pedal.&nbsp; He discusses overlapping notes with the fingers, simulating pedalling.&nbsp; Additionally, this can simulate sostenuto pedalling, such as just holding a bass note while playing the other left-hand notes in a more staccato-style.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzNElOuakkI&amp;index=3&amp;list=RDBV1GW3PGx8o">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzNElOu...V1GW3PGx8o</a><br />Advanced pedalling, including fractional pedalling, &#039;half pedalling&#039;, fluttering the pedal, and how bass notes &#039;play through&#039; the pedal.</p>]]></description>
