Wonderful! A great example of the excitement early pianos can give to Haydn, via a performer that responds to it's sounds and has the imagination to know how the written score could possibly be realised...

This performer makes wonderful tempo choices and the sound and as much of his interpretation as one can intuiut :is simply great music making . Hadyn sounds wonderful here because of the music and the musician here .There is a clarity between registers that allows for voices o be heard easily -something pianists struggle with -but it is invaluable of course to hear the instruments that the music was played for .I would never ay that the MUSIC was written for because music often is written with a particular sound in the ear the music comes first .When I see these things I am in awe . His gentleness with the instrument is extremely necessary . I cant imagine that they do really Mozart or Beethoven any favor though they are receptive to minor descepancies in touchh and attack of course not as well a today's keyboards . Boulez 2nd Sonata or Ferneyhough's Lemma Icon Epigram would break this twee thing into shards ! But I've heard this on pianos my entire life and won't compare . I would go to a fortepiano recital only to hear rare music I had never heard likeItalian French or Spanish early 18th century muic which gets so little programmed and yet Royer,Marchand and others have left us wonders !

[@lorenzopone869]

I wonder who else is able to play the fortepiano with such a domain and variety of colours. This is magnificent.

Woah !! Really great

Typically we refer to this beautiful hand-crafted instrument a ‘FortePiano’ whereas the modern type with its 88 keys [tun’d to the waaay too sharp A=440] is known as a ‘pianoforte’ -which is weirdly shorten’d in common parlance to ‘piano’ [‘soft’] - Haydn’s & Mozart’s A was probably closer to A=425 Hz bas’d on the two tuning forks kept by Leopold Mozart after 1773 when he open’d a ‘Klavier-shoppe’ in his house (the former ‘Dancing Master’s Hall’) & needed to keep his harpsichords, clavichords & fortepianos always ‘in tune’ - despite the fact that in very cold weather the pitch of Klavieren could drop as much as 50 cents (100 cents makes up a semitone in equal temperament tuning systems) and rise in hot weather by as much in the opposite direction - so A= 430 Hz is roughly a happy medium between the two extremes LoL

Me llama la atención el ver los sostenidos, los bemoles según se mire, en blanco y las notas en negro. Cómo ha cambiado el mundo y sigue y seguirá cambiando. Pero lo importante es la esencia, en este caso Haydn. A veces me imagino como serían las veladas de la aristocracia europea amenizadas por este tipo de instrumentos con genios como los había en aquella época, y todo eso iluminado con velas........ Un sueño.❤

Music at human height !

[@Discrimination_is_not_a_right]

All the cutting and panning and zooming is quite distracting. Superb performance, though.

Repent and trust in Jesus. We deserve Hell for our sin. Lying, lusting, etc, but God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and ride from the grave to free us from sin. If you repent and trust in him youll be saved. Romans 3:23 John 3:16❤😊❤😊❤
