I am being trained by my piano teacher to follow the slurs and other articulation marks even in the modern piano. I was somehow hesitant about it at first but overtime I understood how Mozart gave the pieces "character" because of these slurs. Compared it with playing it the conventional way of playing and now I prefer to follow Mozart (and other composers') markings.

This is delightful! and I agree with his assessment.... the Piano Concerto in D minor, however, is No. 20 K. 466 - I am a descendant of 'Sieber Music Engravers' Vienna (1700s) Mozart's earlier Publisher Katherine Sage nee Sieber and also widow of renown Master Piano Restorer Gary Sage of Carmel, CA

Another viewpoint is that connecting lines are written for bowing ( bow changes for string instruments). Most composers of that time habitually wrote bowing marks over the score even for keyboard instruments. That is why it sounds strange when a pianist strictly follow all the connecting lines of the piano works of that time.

In my opinion you can do exactly what you said on the piano. He didn’t do it but you definitely can do it. Just because of the simple reason that the piano of these days has a wither range of dynamics compared to the old fortepiano. I do prefer the sound of the old fortepiano though. At least for Mozart and Haydn

Hardly without rebuilding of the instrument; hammers in two instruments are different, the strings are different, string orientation is different, size is different. Piano is something like an electric guitar compared to a classical guitar, which is the fortepiano.

As a piano technician, I can attest that steinways are basically giant overtone factories. Their treble tone is really crap compared to European pianos. More is not necessarily better, especially with sensitive instruments.

@@ninjaassassin27 You seem to disagree with most jazz and classical pianists then. Incredibly gifted geniuses of the piano spanning more than a century, from Horowitz to Keith Jarrett, Rachmaninoff to Bill Evans ( who also chose Baldwin later which is very similar to a Steinway signature, at least in Baldwin's golden era). European pianos sound pristine clean, like a perfectly neat store display, no blemishes or slight "imperfections". The majority of the greatest classical pianists today and from the past have chosen the Steinway as their piano of choice. Don't tell me they don't have access to other brands... It is in their best interest to project their craft the closest to their heart, and the Steinway is the one that can do it.

God, this just proves the reason why many many performers play these revolutionary masterpieces of which ought to be in memory forever in a modern way! You know what, the modern in music play & instruments can't even compare to the past! You can find the finest made Steinway for example of modern times, but it's not even close to the expression of the fortepiano! Just because the pianos of now a days make a sound that is soo much deep and dark endless cloud of echo, & it ends as with no colorful expressional flow, it's like the sounds stops suddenly as if blocked or hit by a flat wall! But the fortepiano has this wonderful and beautiful tone to it in which with it it makes not a deep but a sharp sound, so that every punch you put into it, the listener can feel it & therefore can feel the power of the music more sensually then with modern pianos!

According to the new groves dictionary for music and musicians, (the authority for everything music) pianoforte and fortepiano are used interchangeably. We call the modern piano a piano. although for fun theres nothing wrong with calling it pianoforte. Academically though pianoforte refers to the older pianos produced around the 1800's

In academic writing referring to the modern piano as a "pianoforte" would be incorrect classification of the instrument. A professor would take marks away. A piano does not equal a pianoforte. Pianoforte and fortepiano are synonyms referring to historical hammerklavier instruments.

The fortepiano has a sound that what you play is directly what you hear sharply, & if you want it to echo, you can by using the peddle or knee press of those time instruments. And the sound of its echo wouldn't feel deep & endless then stop all of a sudden as if hit by a flat wall, it will carry its original character still as the echo goes on at the same time, that crisp & sharp sound will not fade away as using the echo, but instead will flow with the current sound of its making! And you will get as a result the most humble singing sound of music that you won't get elsewhere, this beauty of expression especially in Mozart's music can truly make you feel what really belongs in the depth of the beauty in the music! And if you continue to hold down the pedal, the sounds will not cloud up and cross over each other like a dark matter, it will sound as if being individually pressed keys & the listeners can tell which notes are being struck at the same time.

La acentuación se pierde en el piano moderno por su potente sonido. Al hacer la pausa entre los ligados en el piano la resonancia del instrumento hace que las dos frases se conecten, mientras en el fortepiano hay una distinción más clara de las frases.
