How to play a slurred Portato with damper pedal?
Extract is The Reef by Walter Carroll.
How would one play the slurred (accented) Portato well with damper pedal without cutting off the sound?
The following are found in one of the YT tutorial for this piece:
"There are many staccato markings in this piece, which strangely are at the same time as pedal markings, which effectively "neutralizes" any staccato effect. Therefore, the purpose of these markings is to indicate the type of touch needed, rather than the acoustic effect achieved."
PS: I posted with due respect for the OP of the YT tutorial.
