“Taking the C-sharp and B-flat in the left hand eliminates crowding and allows a legato connection from the preceding grace note. I catch the chord in the sostenuto pedal to allow clearer pedaling of the octave line.”

“I sustain the lowest voice with the sostenuto pedal so my left hand can jump up to play the G and F-sharp of the middle voice, freeing my right hand to maintain a projected sound and legato connection in the upper voice with the minimal pedal that Danielpour requests. The fingerings in Italics are Danielpour’s.”

“I use the sostenuto pedal to sustain the low F without blurring the grace notes in the damper pedal. Dividing the grace notes between the hands results in a powerful and secure delivery.”
