David Rowland traces the history of piano pedaling from its beginnings
in the eighteenth century to its first maturity in the middle of the
nineteenth century and beyond. Pedaling technique was a major feature of
nineteenth-century piano performance and, coupled with new developments
in piano structure, inspired many composers to write innovative works
for the literature. Rowland examines this through the technique and
music of composer-pianists such as Beethoven, Liszt, and Chopin and
follows the transition from harpsichord and clavichord to piano. The
book also includes an appendix of translated extracts from three
well-known piano-pedaling tutors.
