I’m working on this four hands version too, but I am having difficulties with the pedaling. Can you share how you did the pedaling?❤

[@pakyukwokalex3683]

Great pedalling requires sensitive aural judgements. There’s no exact ways to do it but I think one should aware of the proper timbre and the precise timing with his partner (i.e. the ensembleship, how you two breathe together and the amount of rubato given…) Usually for duet playing, I would prefer putting less pedal but more finger legato since I could avoid muddling my partner’s timbre and maximise each of our characters. Unless both of us are making a full orchestra playing, I seldom put the pedal completely down.
