Topic: Release pedal resonance
Quoting from a post in Piano Forum
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I I have a question about digital piano's. For me it's difficult to explain in English.
At the moment I play a piece by John Cage "In a landscape" You have to press the pedal and hold it from start till the end.
In the last bar you press a chord so soft that it makes no sound, you only lift the dampers. Then you release the pedal. So you hear the chord very soft by resonance from the previous bars. The result is subtile and very soft.
Is this effect possible on a digital piano ?
If you understand my question, please help me to describe it better.
At the moment I have a Korg SP100.
In the future I want to buy a new digitale piano with this possibility.

Since I do not know which piece, I experimented with playing multiple chords holding the sustain pedal down and at the end played a base C chord silently and then released the pedal. I couldn't hear any resonance. I tried the same experiment on my Kawai Grand accoustic and the resonance was really very clearly heard
Any comments
Thanks
