not necessarily Wim, if one is only trying to change the TIMBRE and not =
the VOLUME. And Jim Ellis is quite correct another consideration of the =
pianist is decay rate. But so much of this happens intuitively at light =
speed that it is not done consciously. It is expression itself. Try it =
yourself. It's the only way you can really understand this, observation =
is almost useless. Chris Solliday=20

  I have another question regarding the pedaling. As I said on one of my =
posts, I really don't hear any difference when the piano player squeezes =
the pedal just a hair, or goes to one of about four different position, =
other than fully depressed. On a properly voiced hammer, there isn't =
supposed to be any harsh sounds. But what I am hearing is all the same =
sound, until the string hits only 2 strings. Shouldn't the piano player =
also be trying to play a little different when using the una corde? I =
mean, it doesn't seem to do much good to press the pedal, while still =
playing at the same volume. Isn't that defeating the purpose, a little? =
That's like stepping on the brake while accelerating.=20
