Beethoven frequently wrote letters to piano makers asking them to make stronger, louder pianos and it always makes me sad Beethoven never got to hear a modern steinway because a Steinway is literally everything he wanted in a piano.

I'm not English speaker so clear pronunciation is precious to me. My ears can't decode muffled sounds of some people's speech as native speakers do. Though I believe that sometimes they got same trouble as well.

I was a student just killing time by practicing the Waldstein Beethoven sonata before a choir concert at Governer's State University in Illinois. David Schrader was there for some reason, and excitedly exclaimed "the Waldstein!" He said something nice about how I was playing it and left me alone. He is one of the kindest teachers I remember, and also THE most talented. David Schrader is better at any keyboard than 99.9 percent of keyboardists.

You can really hear the harpsichord's sound influence in the earlier piano, It's got a hint of that twangy sound that the harpsichord has, but as more of a buzz than a twang. Nowadays, "twangy" is the last thing people think of when they hear "piano". It's cool to see how musical taste can change instruments over time, likely without anyone actually noticing. That felt insert needs a comeback, though.

After hearing the sonata on the modern piano, hearing it again on the pianoforte was quite interesting. It sounds clearer, brighter, like a chirping bird. It's really nice to hear how Mozart would've heard his sonata, it almost sounded more Mozart-ey? I don't know, the sound just fits better on the pianoforte. The piano makes it sound more beautiful (I would love to hear an actual German Steinway in person someday), but it seems like something is lost. Very interesting video. Shame it's doesn't have the attention it deserves.

Oh, no, you're not the only one. I'm not myself an specialist, nor a harpsichordist, but I feel, like David, that each instrument is related to a certain and/or specific music. Each instrument evokes something peculiar, and brings a singular atmosphere. I can't say that I prefer the older instruments, all I can say is that they thrill me. That's part of the mistery and the miracle of music

I think the best music is written because of the constraints. They try to get every bit out of the instrument whereas a modern piano might make them miss the big picture. If that makes sense... Also the modern piano might have more notes and a way to play both hard and soft, it has less options because of the intonation as shown in the video. I'm quite glad the old masters used the instruments they did.

I realize this series is about Baroque instruments, but it would have been cool to have a part 3, that covers the modern electro mechanical pianos, like the Fender Rhodes, the Clavinet, and Yamaha electric grand. It's also worth pointing out that modern fully electronic pianos/keyboards can be set up to have different sounds when played harder/softer, like the older style acoustic piano. Modern keyboards can play an astonishingly wide variety of high quality sounds, that I would love to see put in the hands of the great composers of the past.

He wrote for the texture he had and it shows. Original/authentic instrumental performance of early music often sounds better than modern because the music suits the instruments. If you ever get a chance to listen to the Mozart Symphonies performed by Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music, I’d suggest it - I think they sound better than modern orchestra for the same reason you like the fortepiano. But I find that phenomenon stops at Mozart. Beethoven wrote so big he usually sounds better on modern orchestras and modern pianos. The modern piano sustain sings better for slow passages like the first movement of the Moonlight or the middle movement of the Pathetique. What I find interesting about experimenting with Beethoven on a fortepiano is that his big stuff goes from sounding dramatic on a modern piano to sounding melodramatic on a fortepiano. The drama on the older instrument almost resembles silent movie music - you get more drama by exaggerating the crap out of it, which utterly wouldn’t work on a Steinway or Bosendorfer. In other words, the instrument affects the logic of the performance.

Enjoyed this - thank you. I've got a small Petrof grand (172cm) and I recently got to tour the Petrof factory in Hradec Kralové, about 120km East of Prague where they've been making pianos since 1864. There is also a new museum to celebrate the 150th anniversary this year. It's well worth understanding the sheer amount of love, knowledge and work that goes into making a piano. Even if you appreciate it already as a player, your piano will seem incredibly good value after such a visit.

It makes me sad that we generally don't hear Mozart piano as it is meant to sound. The difference is tremendous. The early piano is far more intimate and delicate. To my ears, the sentiment on the modern piano is absolutely drowning in reverberation. It's almost like listening to the original through water.

funny, I prefer how classic pianos sound like. The newer pianos sound cleaner, purer, but I think it makes them sound more, for lack of a better vocabulary, boring. The older pianos sound more colourful and I find them more enjoyable to listen to.

@Bunnysinger 7 жыл бұрын
That's got more to do with the type of music played on the instrument. Mozart wrote his pieces for the older pianos, so naturally it sounds better on those. Rachmanninof wrote his pieves for the newer pianos, so the same goes for his pieces. Play Rach on Mozart's piano, and I bet it would sound boring (or has the feeling of missing something) as well.
