<DIV>I should say visual observation. I just think a player with =
expression
pedal experience may be in a better position to listen to the =
differences but
this not to say that a non playing listener can't hear the difference. =
So listen
anyway it'll grow on ya. As far as "benefits" go it is for the greater
expression of the music and therefore benefits everyone. =

<DIV>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

<DIV>I am not a piano player, so I can't try it, to hear a
difference. But from what you're saying, "It's the only way you =
can
really understand this, observation is almost useless", makes it =
appear that
pedaling is more for the benefit of the player than it is for the =
listener. </DIV>
