    The Barenboim piano

    'Man know thyself'

    I was at the Musikverein in Vienna for that Schubert recital by Barenboim on his new piano. For the life of me I couldn't detect any difference in the sound and, secondly, his performance showed how much his playing has been adversely affected by a crowded CV which includes conducting, playing and now - apparently - piano design.

    Back to the drawing board please, Maestro!

      He ought to try a Paul McNulty fortepiano (Viennese style)- those are what Beethoven played on and composed on!

        Beethoven had a lot of different pianos and although in later years he expressed a preference for the Viennese manufacturers such as Graf, he was never satisfied.
