This research focus on the pedalling interpretation of the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Sonata No. 14 in C# minor, Op. 27 No. 2 in the key of C# minor. Beethoven's pedalling instruction for this movement is "si deve suonare tutto questo pezzo delicatissimamente e senza sordini," which translates that the entire piece should be played with the utmost delicacy and without mutes. In this current period, is Beethoven's indication still applicable with all of these relatively modem instruments, or has it been made irrelevant? Due to the advances of the keyboard instrument and the expansion of pedalling capabilities, there have been several variations in pedalling interpretations by music score editors and performance pianists, and the number of research devoted to this subject has been restricted thus far As a result, the purpose of this study is to observe and explore the many interpretations of pedalling. Because this research was conducted through a qualitative method, a total of three score editions and two videos of performers were chosen to be observed for this study. The score was acquired from the imslp website, while the video of the performers was downloaded from YouTube. Due to the issue of pedal interpretations, it was necessary for the score that was chosen to have the pedal indicators either the right pedal or the una corda pedal, depending on the situation. According to the data, there are significant differences between the score editions, and each of the editions has its own concept, which may be split into two categories: the most simple and the most complex. The research must be able to view the performer's foot in the clip for the video observation to be effective. The video must be recorded at a full angle so that the performer's foot can be seen in the video for the study to watch the interpretation of the pedal. Finally, there is no such thing as a right or incorrect answer when it comes to pedal interpretation. The most crucial aspect is that we must be aware of our own playing while maintaining the integrity of the piece's originality.
