For anyone who's wondering, my sister is playing the piece "Hanging Gardens" in this video. Thanks for all your kind comments!

On my piano the middle pedal is a practice pedal. It puts a layer of felt over the hammers and it makes it sound soft.

Yes! The middle pedal can have so many functionalities depending upon the instrument. 🎹

I just realized only the sustain pedal works on my piano.

@pianowithemma Ай бұрын

That's quite common! The sostenuto pedal is especially prone to issues. Call a good piano technician and they can get the other two pedals working for you.

The pedal on the right increases the tempo, the one in the middle decreases the tempo, and the one on the left is for when you want to change keys without grinding. You only get that pedal on manual pianos though, automatic pianos only need 2 pedals.

My middle and left pedals are tied together and they only push all the hammers forward with a bar behind the hammers.

A better way to say the middle peddle is that it sustains the notes you are holding when you put your foot down on the pedal

I always wondered about the soft pedal. I never understood why it would shift like that.

Doesn’t the sostenuto pedal only damp selected keys and not the entire bass? For example, you press down a key, press down on the pedal, and then only those keys that you press damp later on until you remove the pedal

So, I have an upright piano and I’ve been trying to figure out what the middle pedal does for FOREVER! When I searched it up it said that it will only sustain the bass and not the treble but when I tried that it sustained both. When I play with the middle pedal it is kinda similar to the sustain pedal but softer? It kinda sounds like fairies? The piano is a Schafer & Sons. Does anyone know what the middle pedal does on my piano??

@pianowithemma 7 ай бұрын

Your middle pedal is probably a practice pedal, which softens the tone of the instrument across the whole keyboard so it's quieter for practice. I'm glad this video helped you!

@RationallySkeptical 3 ай бұрын

Wrong. Sosentuto sustains what keys you press before depressing it, and everything after you press it isn't sustained. It's not just generally bass is sustained and treble isn't, like you said.

@pianowithemma 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the clarification. In the video, I was referring to the fact that the sostenuto pedal only sustains bass notes in the manner you described, not both bass and treble.

More seriously though, I thought the middle pedal only sustains the keys that are already down at the time the pedal is pressed

The sostenuto pedal does not sustain the notes in the Bass. What it does is sustain any keys being played when it is held down 😊

@pianowithemma 10 ай бұрын

The sostenuto pedal can work differently on different pianos. Many sostenuto pedals only sustain the bass.
