June 11-13, Workshop for PMTA, Bedford, PA
Workshop on “Damper Pedal and Sound Alchemy in the Context of Interpretation" ~ Enrico Elisi

How often do our intermediate students take the damper pedal for granted? Why do their instinctive reactions based on nearly automatic, acoustic feedback provide limited results? This workshop will focus on the damper pedal in the context of interpretation. A few examples will reveal how the composition’s horizontal aim—its “future”—and vertical conception—its ”present”—are part of an all-inclusive, temporal context from which some thoughtful considerations on pedaling may be derived.
