Editing Pedal point (section)

==Types==
A '''double pedal''' is two pedal tones played simultaneously.
An '''inverted pedal''' is a pedal that is not in the bass (and often is the highest part.)  [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]] included numerous inverted pedals in his works, particularly in the solo parts of his [[concerto]]s. An '''internal pedal''' is a pedal that is similar to the inverted pedal, except that it is played in the middle register between the bass and the upper voices.

A [[drone (music)|drone]] differs from a pedal point in degree or quality. A pedal point may be a [[nonchord tone]] and thus required to [[Resolution (music)|resolve]], unlike a drone, or a pedal point may simply be a shorter drone, a drone being a longer pedal point.
