Alfons is my teacher for our conservation course for historical music instruments and I just discovered this video as well as your other series. Thank you so much this is absolutely amazing! We are having our exam with him next week and I'm so tempted to bring Nuss Kuss... ;)
very enlightening that idea about fortepiano's without gape spacer! Could you please give more details about that Beethoven letter...and what a coincidence: I was always convinced that a similar Schantz fortepiano was the ideal instrument for the Mondschein Sonata, and not only for the obvious historic reasons, but especially because of its particular tone colour.....
The letter was addressed to Josephine von Brunsvik (his alleged “Immortal Beloved”) and was discovered by the late musicologist, Dr. Rita Steblin. I agree about the Schantz. I had the great pleasure of playing on an original Schantz in Vienna and it is the most beautiful instrument I have ever played. The tone color is exquisite.
This brings back good memories of the time I visited the museum in March 2018
