The advantages of historical instruments in the performance of music from the Baroque era are familiar to the public. But few listeners (and even musicians) realize that the instruments of early Romanticism, which form the basis of today’s concert programs, are just as different from modern ones. Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin wrote for instruments with much finer dynamics and clearer articulation than today’s.

The revival and study of performance principles from this time leads to stunning musical discoveries and answers questions that have plagued musicians for many decades.

One of these issues is the ratio between the piano (piano-forte or hammer clavier) and the string instruments in the ensemble. In classical and early romantic music, the grand piano of our time is forced to reduce its sonority in order to balance it with its partners, who, in turn, try to “project” (ie amplify) the sound. In this way, the natural balance of forces in the ensemble is distorted and many important musical details are missed.

The instruments of the period effortlessly restore this balance and illuminate, like the restoration of old paintings, many other nuances in the composer’s palette, often hidden from the hearing of modern audiences.
