Soft pedal regulation

[Mark Dierauf]

>> He commented that pianists use the damper pedal in quarter and half
>>gradations. Why not the left pedal?

  Absolutely! See the marking in the Adagio Sostenuto movement from Beethoven's
Op. 106 (measure76): "poco a poco due ed allora tutte le corde" - rough
translation "little by little release the una corda pedal".
