Thank you so much for this wunderful video. At the moment my teacher began to show me changing pedals within a peace. This is not easy and a lot to learn. But with this, a new world is opening for repertoire. Greatings from Germany!
Thank you for this video! It is great to see pedaling dealt with in context of actual repertoire. Also, I really find split screen (hand/foot) videos very helpful.
I'm glad you found the context helpful, and thanks for watching! I thought the split screen came out fairly well. It was definitely more work to put the video together that way, but a fun challenge!
Wonderful explanation, funnily I am currently working on the Rouet and Prelude in C to get into "pedal changes" and Solfeggietto is on my list as the next piece. Greetings from Germany!
That is an amazing coincidence! Obviously, I think all three pieces are great choices for pedals. They're also beautiful pieces on their own, and I actually have videos of all of them in my Inspirational Videos for Young Harpists Series: ruclips.net/video/wQHbcJVfeRc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/_x0MhtRUCRU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/-i75q-TzKIE/видео.html
Do you find pedaling while sight reading super difficult? I’m not a harp player but am writing for a session player on Sunday for orchestration class. Unfortunately we won’t meet her until our music is on the stand so I’m trying to temper my expectations. I don’t want to not have pedaling but I don’t want her to feel like she’s driving a busted stick shift car in an ice storm 😜
I personally can sight read with a decent number of pedals, but in the situation you're describing, I think it would be wise to not have too much chromaticism. Probably the most helpful thing you could do is to put some space between pedals (a few beats, a few measures, etc.) rather than having many quick pedals right in a row. Good luck!

Extremely lucid and helpful!
Happy to hear it!
Btw watching this has been super helpful as a composer who doesn’t play and writing harp for the first time
Glad to hear it!

How exciting for you to begin working on pedal changes! There is a definitely a lot of coordination involved. Thanks so much for watching!
@@JacquelinePollauf thank you very much😊🌹

Very helpful, thank you!
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Whew! Intense....I can't wait to get a pedal harp. 😊
I'm so glad you're excited about a pedal harp! And, yes, it does get intense.
Just great! Terrific instruction!
Thank you - so pleased to hear that!
