Points on Pedalling - Ching, James

The use of the sustain pedal is an entegral factor in good pianoforte technique. In Points on Pedalling, James Ching assists the player to enhance their skill and knowledge of how and when to use it. The book includes a guide to the history and technical development of the pedal, its relationship to harmonic structure, and a guide to its various uses in music. Later chapters are dedicated to Bach's use of the pedal, and to its use by composers in the 20th Century.
