This might be a silly question so pardon me. Recently I have been practicing Chopin's Nocturne Op.72 No.1 in e minor.I have a question regarding how to use the pedals. I have been listening to Rubinstein's recording as well as Dang Thai San's recordingĐặng Thái Sơn's. What puzzles me is that both recordings sound like they were not using the pedal at all. Each note sounds so clear and none of them sound elongated. I am trying to mimick that effect but it seems impossible to do that. I am quite sure I am following the instruction on the sheet though...Any suggestion?
