  • The raucous knee pedal effect on the fortepiano that Mozart would have been familiar with.
    Any other ideas what it might have been used for?
    Hear the fortepiano played in Mozart's Piano Concerto No.23 at Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall on 5 April with soloist Kristian Bezuidenhout.

    Any other ideas what the knee lever was used for?

      It sounds similar to how old saloon style uprights sounded
      Although I don't see why an instrument made for upper class musical performances would need what was probably seen as a nasty peasant sound

    The close up on "most of the time" was gold

    "Fagotto" originally means something like "twig bundle" (and if you look at a bassoon, this makes sense) - the sound is like the strings are being stroken with a broom.

    It sounds incredible - I know he's being facetious, but I wish he could introduce this totally unique sound in a more evenhanded way.

      Me too. It's actually really fun and there are so many better examples where it would sound amazing. Even music written beyond the demise of the bassoon stop/pedal that it would sound amazing with is 'in the hall of the mountain king's 🤩

    Classical musicians underestimate the inventiveness and spontaneity past musicians had.

    I have actually seen a Hummel piano work where the Fagotto stop is explicitly called for by name.

    Probably just for playing basslines, as an option anytime that the fortepiano was still used for continuo for example

    I like the sound. Is that really mozarts fortepiano?

    I'm sorry but the name of this musical instrument caught me off guard
    What has this generation done to me 😞

    perfect for making sounds ugly, annoying and horrible. We need that right now for today's humor elaboration. no wonder no one can actually perform this piece nowaday.🤣
