In Beethoven's Pathetique, how do you play the fortepiano chords in the third movement (rondo)? I can easily do this on a wind instrument by changing wind speed, but on piano, I have no idea how to play it.

I tried using the 'delayed pedal' method where you strike the chord as if it were staccato and pressing the damper pedal a few moments later, but that doesn't give me a good result because it is very hard to time accurately, leading to chords that are often too loud or soft.

That's how I would do it. Play a staccato chord, then 'catch' the sound with the damper pedal. It takes a fair bit of practice, but when you time it right, and play the notes at the correct volume, that's it - job done.

In piano music, fp (forte-piano) chords are played as if they are forte, then immediately followed by piano-volume (i.e. quiet) music.
