I decided to take a nose dive with my iMac desk top and place it way down by my feet because today an adult student continued her IN DEPTH study of legato pedaling. She was specifically practicing the C section of Beethoven’s “Fur Elise,” that I coin, the “stormy” part. (It has the tremolo, and reflects the sudden mood shift the composer is known for)
Without further ado, and since a picture is worth a thousand words, it’s best to watch the video from a deeper perspective.
