Quarter Pedaling
A delicate pedaling technique where the sustain pedal is depressed even less than half pedaling, offering minimal sustain for a cleaner sound.
Selective Sustain Pedaling
This technique involves using the sustain pedal to sustain specific notes while other notes are played staccato or without sustain.
Pedal Markings in Sheet Music
Symbolized by lines and asterisks under the staff, indicating when to press (Ped) and when to release (*) the sustain pedal.
Sostenuto (Sost. Pedal)
This pedal sustains only the notes that are held down when the pedal is pressed, allowing selective sustain.
Sustain Pedal (Damper Pedal)
Engages the damper mechanism to sustain all played notes until released or until they naturally decay.
Una Corda (U.C.)
Refers to the soft pedal, which shifts the keyboard action to cause the hammers to strike fewer strings, resulting in a softer sound.
Flutter Pedaling
Achieved by rapidly and repeatedly depressing and releasing the sustain pedal, creating a shimmering, fluttering effect.
Half Pedaling
A technique where the sustain pedal is depressed partially to obtain a varied damper effect, allowing fine control over sustain and dampening.
