Claude Frank (Read about him at www.tunepiano.com/claude.htm) came here
to BYU and his left foot was continually "feathering" (his words) the
una chorda. His foot would pump it lightly up and down between 1-3 times
per second. Go figure... But what a tremendous artist! He alos had the
most distorted (deformed) fingers I've ever seen.=20

I am not pompous or arrogant. I am ignorant, however, when it comes to
the use of the una corda. That is why I asked the question. I have just
never seen someone use the pedal as much. But from what all of you have
been telling me, except for Jeff, is that this is one aspect of concert
prep that I have to get used to. I have a pretty good idea of what to do
and I am more than willing to do it. I appreciate the comments and
suggestions.
