Thank you! Fascinating review of that wonderful instrument!
Hi, Susan and Clive. Thank you for your video.🎉.
Thank you! This video was fun to make!
Wider D tails are pretty common-almost standard-on old instruments. Even my 1838 Broadwood and 1846 Chickering squares are like that.
Yes, I've noticed some variation on early pianos, but not this much. I love Chickerings!
I believe the keys are narrower here than on today's pianos. Always been curious why we would choose in the late 1800's to develop pianos that are harder to play. Thanks for this video.
At least the spaces between the black keys are uniform these days!!😅
Keyboards can vary quite a bit on old instruments, but in my experience they are usually more consistent in width than the Broadwood. A charming quirk :) Our widest keyboard is the Italian harpsichord, copied from an anonymous instrument built in 1694. You might like this video of it; ruclips.net/video/Boca9BDO60Q/видео.html
wide because it has more keys or because the keys themselves are wider? I'm talking about the latter:) @@EarlyMusicStudio1
@@88_AC Hi again; yes, the keys are wider but the instrument has fewer keys than a modern piano. By contrast, our French harpsichord and Viennese fortepiano have narrower keys, which I find very comfortable.
comfort. i like that. One day I'll get one of these narrower keyed pianos ruclips.net/video/ZXlknI-Jc48/видео.htmlsi=AILLAGvrl9grPJZW @@EarlyMusicStudio1
Hmm, now I really want to know if B's Erard had a split damper!!! Of course, it was common for a long time to have a global damper & a bass-only damper pedal...
Yes, it's nice to have a treble-only option because there are some staccato bass passages. We have a pic of B's Erard which shows four pedals, so it probably has a split damper. We used to have an 1873 Erard, straight strung, which was lovely...much later, of course, so regular pedals.
Bla bla bla, bla bla bla, ... All talk no play.
The topic seemed promising, but please let the instrument speak for itself.
You can hear the first movement of Beethoven's op.14 #2 here; ruclips.net/video/sO6OoT3oaPo/видео.html The second movement will be available on the weekend and we'll put up the third movement next week. Many viewers are interested in the piano as well as the music, so we try to provide a variety of material.
