When handling pedals in piano music, you must first pay attention to control. Appropriate use of pedals in a song can make the melody fuller. However, if the pedals are not handled properly, the music may seem beautiful but is actually rough. Therefore, the player needs to determine the time and intensity of pedal use according to the rhythm and melody of the song to achieve the best effect.
In the song "Picking Tea and Flying Butterflies", a reverberation pedal (SostenutoPedal) is usually used, which can present a clearer sound effect. The reverb pedal can make the timbre in the bass area last longer, make the timbre difference between high and low instruments more prominent, and also make the entire sound space wider, making people feel like they are in a music venue.
During the performance, we can also deliberately emphasize the intensity changes of certain rhythms and melodies by lifting the pedal. For example, when a player wants to emphasize a higher note, he can press the pedal lightly before pressing the note, and then raise the pedal together with the note to achieve the note's prominence. In the same way, during certain chord transitions, you can use pedals to make the ethereal transition sounds more natural and smooth.
In short, pedal processing is one of the important elements in the piano playing process. It can enhance the beauty and musical expression of the piece, allowing the audience to better appreciate the artistic charm of the musical work.
