@bsd300d I'd say more than likely it is too much sustain pedal. The reason the bass strings cross over is so you can put longer strings in any given size piano.
Levin & Hogwood's Mozart Piano Concertos project = UNFINISHED Levin's Mozart Piano Sonatas project = one only disc TWELVE years ago = UNFINISHED Does anyone know what's wrong here?
Hogwood sadly died in 2014. As for the other one: I'd wager monetary issues. It's easy for today's bankrolled superstars to pump out mediocre, aimless albums year after year (e.g. containing the same interpretation of Schumann's concerto we know from a century ago) when they have all the big-name agencies/record companies behind them. Dedicated, large scale musical projects like these are harder to get funding for.
The record company determines what is recorded and by whom. The remaining concertos will be recorded by Mr Levin and the AAM led by Richard Egarr. Two class acts. .
thanks. but given that the human ear is not capable of hearing a pure third (we can get close, but not exact, which leads to various glitches), I have wondered whether a device like that would help the process, especially during the learning stage... btw, while j.s. rightfully sits at the top of the composer heap, it is d. scarlatti's wild honesty that wins my heart, and not g.f. -- at least at this point during my development
Someone with attention deficiency disorder wouldn't have the concentration to compose the music that Mozart composed, especially when you consider that such passages as the contrapuntal finale of the "Jupiter".
Brilliant, balanced lecture.
This is great, thanks for posting, indeed!
Fantastic.

actually, he does mention that the Stein has a different tuning -- just before the end of this segment when he is comparing the Mozart piece...

@@patriciayeiser6405 Really? Where did you get that information - are you a close acquaintance? I would like to know more about this.

“The human ear is not capable of hearing a pure third”. You gotta source for that?
Are the crossed bass string in my baby grand why some of notes get muddled when i play?
yes and no, it's mostly about fluffiness of hammers and the thickness of the strings - as Levin pointed out at 2:18 onwards.
He sounds like Carl Sagan :p
Does anyone know what kind of tuning device (with visual display) the fortepiano tuner is using? It is shown between times 1:05 and 1:20. Thanks...
2:03
0:42 what disorder?
Attention deficiency disorder (ADD)
