      Aguvika the fortepiano is much easier to play fast because of their lighter keys, but the articulation imo is much harder to control.

    The fortepiano sound is wonderful, -like an airy mix of harpsicord and piano, - a soft harpsicord with the nuances of a piano. I would like to own one.

    • @timboinozify

      It is very beautiful, yes. But, actually Viennese action fortepianos were not designed as a LOUD & SOFT harpsichord, but as a LOUD & Soft clavichord which is a very sweet instrument. the Double Action piano did begin as an attempt as a LOUD and SOFT harpsichord.These only became mature instruments when the cast-iron frame came along, thanks to Babcock.

      Repent and put your trust in Jesus.
      We've all sinned and deserve Hell.
      Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected, defeating death and sin.
      Since we broke the law, Jesus paid our fine. Since he paid it, we can be let go.
      We must repent and trust in Jesus to be saved.

      Do you think he really missed a note? I know that F is not written, but maybe he knew all along. If not he hides it on his face well, and does a great job of keeping it in tempo. I almost want to see him mess up worse so he is forced to improvise something insane!

      It is a Pianoforte, not a fortepiano fortepiano means strong soft or loud soft depending on how you translate it. If you meant that it was loud, that is fine but Pianoforte is a reference to the range of dynamics of the instrument (the Pianoforte) and it is just called a Piano for short because bloody English speakers cannot pronounce Pianoforte or even Piano for that matter. Don’t bother correcting me because I am half Italian and I am only 12 years old.
      Edit:
      Oops, my bad. This instrument is a fortepiano (I think). I just thought it was a Cristofori Piano on the thumbnail and I thought you were just calling it a Piano cos ur dumb. It doesn’t sound like a Cristofori Piano

    • @gerardvila4685
      @gerardvila4685 3 роки тому

      @@paypalno-reply6450 Nobody called it a fortepiano in Mozart's time AFAIK. I guess they started calling them fortepiano because pianoforte (what they called them at the time) is nowadays taken to mean just piano. It's a Viennese style instrument similar to the ones Mozart played - like a harpsichord in construction, with no metal frame. They are much more fragile than modern pianos, strings break when you play too loud - and sometimes the actual keys :-(

    Some believe in representing, on the modern piano, how this would sound on the fortepiano; some go the opposite direction and say, modify this to show all the modern piano can do...I like the happy medium position. I'd probably play this with a bit more dynamic range than the fortepiano was capable of...but just a bit more..not too much. I want to capture Mozart's spirit if at all possible! :.)
