Bass Guitar Harmonics
The Romantic period can also be called the Age of the sustain pedal. Almost all parts of a Romantic composer depends on one point or another, and sometimes everywhere, the use of the damper pedal.
The basic reason for this change of classical music period was gradually increasing the sound the piano itself. With highly enriched harmonics of the new instruments, close-position chords in the bass, if broken or unbroken, no longer seemed tolerable. Composers thus opened up the ropes, throwing his notes in succession instead of simultaneously, and used the pedal to sustain that could not be extended by a single hand.
This was really just a development of an existing device: Broken chords had long been used to provide both interest and a rhythmic effect support the music keyboard. The novelty was the epiphany that the pedal spacing allowed now that were not only beyond the reach of a single hand, but also highly appropriate for the fleeting tones of the piano. New and beautiful textures keyboard evolved, whose enormous potential was developed continuously until the moment Debussy's and beyond.
Two basic types of chords evolved to monitor the ride. At first, the string is spread out in individual notes. In the second, the rope is divided into minor chords, or a combination of minor chords and individual notes. Pianists should be aware of this architecture, and their combinations, because as they depend entirely on the right side of the pedal for this purpose are not always marked by the composer of the score. When there are no brands, the best way to determine the ride is to reduce the open-textured chords its closed position. The ride then usually coincide with changes in harmony. In addition, factors harmonic should be taken into account, not to create a thicker sound and lose the low true.
Another reason for the change of harmonic pedaling is the complexity of the right-hand part. The less sustaining power than tripled compared with a low, generally take care of this. But sometimes the sound should be diluted through a kind of half-pedaling that makes the bass more resonant notes still audible part, and in extreme cases, the low should be completely abandoned and left ear listener as the music is not blurred.
An example is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, where the entire first movement is played Sordini Senzi (without shock), ie with the right hand pedal down unchanged from beginning to end. In the modern piano, the results are hopelessly muddy. But with a third pedal, we can approximate the effects Beethoven quite closely, pressing the lowest notes of the piece with the middle pedal maintained by the left foot throughout the movement. Right hand pedal is used in the normal way, and changed the line itself. This allows the smaller undampened strings to act as sympathetic resonators, so that vibrates continuously and produce a faint but perceptible haze of sound from beginning to end, through which the right-hand corner may sound, as reported by Beethoven himself, "as one voice a safe. "
Several techniques of pedaling can include the following:
- Depress the pedal after a note has been reached, and released simultaneously with the attack on a note with the result that the second statement joins the first in a perfect legato, and without the slightest trace of fuzz or reporting the sound of a other.
- A previous method, now used less frequently, is known as rhythmic-pedaling. The pedal is pressed simultaneously with the attack, and released just before a note is played. The legato can be a little less perfect, but the notes are kind of a boom due to vibration undampened other sympathetic strings. This can be extremely beautiful in a cantabile slow.
- A third type of ride can only be used after a silence. It, the pedal is pressed before the note is reached, with very similar results to those obtained by rhythmic-pedaling.
Composers sometimes wear brands staccato in combination with the pedal signals. At first this may seem a contradiction in terms. What is meant is that the pianist should try an impossible shortening of the notes, but they should be played with the same tone and attack, used to a staccato. This produces a slightly different tone to play the same notes and legato with the pedal.
Pedal marks in romantic music should be interpreted with discretion, rather than following blindly. The pianist must try to guess what effect the composer was to the goal of creating and affecting as much as possible with the modern piano.
