  • Interesting !

  • @Vesivian

    I'm no professional, but yes I think. I've never tried that before, and I was never taught to use the soft pedal in anything either. I think it would create an undesired "jump" in the volume of that note, but you never know until you try.

  • @mmlprsh is it possible to : press any note + una corda then release una corda = cresendo on one note?

  • @RediForKing

    Because it's physically impossible. The way a piano produces sound is when the hammer hits the string, and the string vibrates to produce the sound you hear. In order to do a crescendo, each note played must be louder than the last note in comparison. Without comparison, there is no crescendo. If you play only one note, there is no comparison, you will not hear the music becoming louder, therefore, it is impossible to make crescendo on only one note.

  • I don't understand why it is not possible to make a Crescendo on one note?

  • I was totally into this until I saw the face of bang bang the clown :(

  • He's an Arthur Rubinstein fan?

    Yes...he as conductor, Rubinstein with piano, with London Philharmonic Orchestra won the Grammy Award for best soloist performance for Beethoven: The Five Piano Concertos in 1977.

  • you know, Im your huge fan!

  • In all sincerity, what a revelation!
