Mine is Petrof with 3 pedals. I have owned it for more than 2 decades. The middle pedal is a practice pedal, I guess, cos it will make the piano sounds softer drastically. And the left pedal has no different when I press it. When I was kid, I thought it was just me who hadn't learned / been taught about the left pedal. Til I'm adult, I figured out about Sostenuto Pedal. After I revealed that knowledge, the left pedal was still not working. I thought it's broken because it had never been used for so so long. Now maybe I realize, it is not broken. It is just because the left is the dummy pedal. Am I now correct? Hmm...🤔 Anyway, Thank you for all your videos. So helpful. 👍👍
Hey Robert i hope you get to see my comment cause I've seen almost every moonlight sonata piano cover on youtube but I've never seen yours! it would be great if you could post a video of you playing The 1st movement thank you
Unless you don't care about the clarity of the harmonic progressions over a sustained chord, using the sostenuto pedal for modern music is an imperative for that which, at least, implicitly demands it.
Hmm what about digital piano's? Some of those have 1 or 3 pedals. Is it of any value to have more than 1 pedal for those? (I can imagine, since they are digital, they may work better than normal upright piano pedals.)

It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to learning piano fast minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy got excellent success with it.

I wish he was my professor; he's interesting, and speaks clearly lol.
Thank you so much for your videos, It's great to have advice from a source you can trust.
I did once come across an upright with a shifting una corda pedal, so they exist.
David Arditti Yes they do and there are also upright pianos with a 'proper' sostenuto middle pedal too.

Short answer: Yes, especially if your intent is on practicing complex modern music.
Lots of students ask about the pedals. Thanks for the great information.
Always splendid! Many thanks!

toothless toe He just said it wasn't necessary. And you say it's an imperative. Even most digital pianos also just has the damper pedal.
Thanks for the info, Rob!
Brilliant!
I have a 1958 German Steinmeg and it only has two petals. I was wondering what the shifting one was for... Thanks
