What’s the piece you were playing? I’m new to the piano!

[@pianowithemma]

It's "Hanging Gardens" by Christopher Norton. The piece is from his book Connections 7.

I mistook the damper pedal for sustenuto pedal, and the sustenuto pedal for the una corda pedal. basically, I was wrong about all three pedals 🤣

[@pianowithemma]

No worries! That's what this video was for. Now you won't get them confused. 😊
