Exploring Beethoven's Fortepiano

Pianist and OAE Ambassador Cyrill Ibrahim travels to the Netherlands to find out more about the fortepianos that Beethoven composed for and the history of the instrument. We get our hands on the very special fortepiano 'after' the great Viennese maker Conrad Graf that Sir András Schiff will perform Beethoven's Piano Concertos on with us in May/June 2022; Cyrill plays some Beethoven Bagatelles on it so we can hear its distinctive sound, and there's a bit of confusion with all the pedals... With thanks to Edwin Beunk, Sjoerd Heijda, David Rowland and The Open University. Find out more about Edwin's fortepiano collection at https://www.fortepiano.nl/edwin-beunk...
