Charles-Valentin Alkan - Selections for Pedal Piano (performed by Roberto Prosseda)

[@michaellarrybest8193]

I wasn't blown away like some of Alkan's other works, but I am happy to have heard some of his pedal piano songs.

12:08 to 12:27 hits so damn hard. I love it.

[@larrybear2382]

Cool, I have never heard of a pedal piano. Looks like a good workout.

[@calford2001]

Alkan had his own one, an Erard i think

[@josiahduell9271]

Yeah, it was an Erard. It's on display in paris now. Jack gibbons has a video on it on his channel

[@sabaneyev]

thanks! i was looking for a score video of alkan's benedictus last week lol

[@classicalsheetmusic1986]

It probably sounds good. Didn't watch it yet.

[@LearnCompositionOnline]

[@doompiano1604]

Whaaaaaat?

[@bobgold57]

Yeah. I'm with you. What is this? Somebody went through a whole lot of trouble, but respectfully I have to say I don't get it.The third selection is just beautiful until the footwork starts.

[@josiahduell9271]

Is that an authentic Pedalier? Or just a setup of two pianos with the pedal keyboard on the bottom one?

[@nimrodshefer3649]

Setup

[@TheExarion]

I don’t know the answer off the top of my head honestly, but from what I remember when seeing workers set up these keyboards, I believe it’s just a setup by your definition. It would be extremely difficult to transport this instrument if it were an authentic.

[@josiahduell9271]

Ok, you were at this performance?

[@TheExarion]

No, but there’s at least one video on KZbin of Prosseda’s pedal-piano being set up.

[@josiahduell9271]

Ohhh okok cool. I'll go check it out.
