This piece emphasizes legato playing, and using the pedal can add a more mellow feel. The measures where the pedal can be used are listed below:

• Measures 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.

Please note that this is a suggestion; you are free to use the pedal in other measures if appropriate, or conversely, omit it in the listed measures if not necessary.

For example, in measure 2, if you apply the pedal once for each half note in the melody, you would press the pedal twice within the measure. However, since there are no non-harmonic tones, there will be no muddiness. The same applies to measure 4. In measure 7, for instance, when the right hand plays A first and then plays A again on the second beat, a break will naturally occur. To compensate for this, you can quickly press the pedal four times within the measure, once per beat, to eliminate the break between beats 1 and 2, and also the break in the thirds between beats 2 and 4 (if you use fingerings 3-5, 2-4, 1-3 for the thirds, no break will occur).

In measures 13-14, you may extend the bass G with a finger pedal, or use regular off-beat pedaling.

In any case, to ensure the piece flows smoothly and horizontally, it is generally easier to play with some pedal usage than without any at all.
