Just wondering if anyone uses pedal in this piece. I never thought I would because of it's style...but sometimes just end up using it???

Does anyone think the examiner will be expecting the use of pedal in this piece?

Yes, that's what I thought; thanks.

There's always something going on as I say, in this piece and using the pedal sometimes distorts the sound! I have my exam tomorrow so will try to secure my feet to the ground during this piece to avoid temptation. I also find it very hard to be expressive in this piece, not sure why though.

To put it bluntly, Giga is a bad piece compositionally speaking.

Just try your best: keep the tempo steady, keep it rhythmic, keep the articulation clear and crisp, show the phrases and cadences.
