Extraordinary philosophy of music. I transcribed the text, for those interested. “People sometimes say, that if Mozart, or Beethoven knew...the Steinway, let’s say…that they would have preferred it. […] There is no way we can prove that one way or another….but one thing is rather clear. To the extent that masters such as [Mozart and Beethoven] would have written exactly the pieces they wrote for the Steinway, rather than instruments which they had - to that extent they would have been rather poor composers. Because…one writes for the acoustical and aesthetic properties of the instruments at hand. And one cannot separate, the masterworks of music, from the forces, and the instruments, and the vocal training, which is associated with these things. And this instrument, which is not merely a period piano….but the very piano that Mozart employed in composition and in his performances for the last decade of his life [ ..] It gives us a very good idea of what the instrument felt to him, physically, and how it sounded. These Viennese instruments are a little bit different from those that were developed at more or less the same time in England. The English pianos had much slower hammer speeds than the Viennese ones. The velocity of these instruments is so quick that it makes them ideal, rhetorically, for speaking. [plays staccato phrase]. So that is why there is an enormous vivacity and vitality to the sound. Because, the hammer strikes the strings so quickly. And they are not felt hammers. They are small wooden hammers with a tiny bit of leather on them…and the leather gives [an …] the CON-sonance, the P-huh and the T-hu For me, the voyage of discovery of playing on period instruments, is to move in a world, both physical, and […] emotional, and aesthetic that is inhabited by the geniuses of those who wrote this music. It brings us very very close to them. And it doesn’t mean that we can be sure that everything we do will be identical with that which was done 200 years or more ago. But it certainly gives us a sense of what is expected, because every instrument wishes to be played in a certain way. And you either learn that, and learn to get the instrument to sound the way it wants to sound, and then it will do anything for you, or you fight it, and if you fight it, you will lose the battle. So sitting down, at Mozart’s piano, or sitting down at an organ, which Bach played himself….you understand things about the weight of the keys going down…and the repetition…and the balance and sound….and all of these things bring you very very close to the music and make you say a-ha, so that’s why, it is written that way, which is the not the kind of things that you’re going to get if you play on the standard instruments that are being manufactured”

True. For any instrument - it's up to the driver (the person behind the steering wheel) - that's us - to understand and check out its behaviour - sounds, key mechanism response, etc etc. And also taking into account the surrounding environment. And then we just go ahead to play it anyway. And if we have an understanding about what sounds 'appropriate' or 'relevant' or 'suitable' for that particular instrument - and also based on our own abilities/skills, then we automatically begin to know what appropriate, relevant, suitable, fitting music will sound 'nice' on that instrument. That is - having some idea of what is workable. This probably also applies to what music we generate/create/write/compose for that instrument. But - another factor is the mind - as music/notes also exists in our minds. And not everything in our mind (such as a controlled pitch sliding note for example) can be translated exactly to the piano. Now - for Mozart's piano - certainly an engineering marvel. Full credit to the people involved in the development of pianos - which is a music instrument having harpsichord type key layout, with adequate soft-loud level control of individual keys. The essence of 'piano' (which includes digital and acoustic pianos - they're all pianos - real ones). Piano forte -- soft/loud - is what a piano is all about.

This is a very important point, which makes a great deal of sense. Thank you. I am not at all disagreeing, but would like to suggest that the great composers were visionaries, even prophetic in some sense, able to imagine what a piece would sound like if it were played by the greatest player on the greatest instrument, and may therefore have written beyond their means, even if what was at hand was rudimentary, and beyond their own ability. Hence many pieces were deemed impossible to play when first presented to contemporary musicians.

While composers of the past did compose mindful of the nature of the instruments of their time, their creativity was not limited by them. Later instruments were innovated according to the imagination of the composers, and hence, there are cases where instruments that post date the composers are more conducive to rendering their expressions. For example, Bach’s style of cantabile and clever use of dissonance are much beautifully rendered on a Steinway than a harpsichord.

Mozart loved his Stein and Walter pianos. You should read the letter he writes to his dad after visiting Andreas Stein’s workshop. It’s quite probable in fact that Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven would find the action on a modern piano far too heavy as the pianos in their time required much less weight to depress a key. We see numerous examples of composers complaining about heavy action with Beethoven once destroying an 1803 Erard by getting a piano technician to try and lighten the action.

Levin is correct to a certain extent in that the instrument is a factor in composition. Chopin would sound awful on this fortepiano, not to mention it lacks the range. Similarly, playing Mozart on an Erard is not pleasing to the ear, which leads to another point in that we have become accustomed to the sounds in the age in which we live. Tastes and preferences change. Personally, I love Mozart on a Steinway, but I also find hearing it on a fortepiano satisfying on a different level. The parallel stringing results in each section of the keyboard having distinctive sound qualities. The bass tends to be "growly" and the high treble "sparkling". Then, like violins, not all fortepianos are the same. Some of Paul McNulty's instruments are very fine indeed. Finally, while it may be that a Stradivarius may have been influenced Baroque composers, nobody in their right mind would say they should be used to exclusively play that repertoire. Stradivari have been modified and the result is the Sibelius concerto is one of the most amazing compositions ever. One cannot imagine this Stein being retooled in any way for Ravel. That process, fortunately, has resulted in a Steinway... I've heard ad have many of Levin's interpretations of Mozart, but I find this one lacking in subtlety. Granted, the touch of a fortepiano is viciously light and responsive so I know how difficult it is to differentiate a "p" from "pp". I also think it's played too fast. It sounds like he's had a triple expresso...

This is not intended as any sort of criticism, and my piano ability is about at the ability of someone who has played for a week - but I came here just assuming you were a very skilled pianist, and my first thought is that you are still getting used to the entirely different action/feel of the keyboard, as some of your quick little phrasings at the beginning (like triplets) are sloppy/juttery. Then you get a bit more into the groove and display your technical prowess, rattling off those quick little melodic runs with great ease and skill. But your dynamics are a bit all over the place here and there. Either that or you're nervous at the beginning - but it sounds like someone who has transitioned to a similar-but-different instrument, and it would be a heck of a lot easier if you had started on this instrument. I'd imagine it would be the same for the old composers, that they would find a piano weird as heck at first, but eventually come to grips with it (and then write music that would be similar but not identical to what they originally did). Mozart's music can be so light/airy/happy, you're right in that a Steinway wouldn't lend itself to that style nearly as well! And "covering" a piece that these guys wrote on a modern piano (as most do) is going to yield some weird anomalies, of course.

When you play Mozart on a modern instrument wonderful details emerge wich never come out of a piano that was made during Mozarts lifetime. But other detailed disappear. So somehow they must have foreseen this. You can play the Matheus Passion with a Choir of 100 people and a huge modern orchestra in a slow tempo ore with 16 singers and a small orchestra with old instruments in a high tempo the composition always stays intact. The same with mozart. It is this secret that can never be explained. It is this secret that makes their music so beautiful for ages to come in the harts of people who are not even born yet.
