From pianoforte to modern piano.
Invented at the beginning of XVIII century, Bartolomeo Cristofori’s "harpsichord with soft and strong" has continued to change. Each mutation has been fundamental for composers. In order to illustrate this evolution, Alexander Melnikov chose three very famous pieces that will allow us to easily understand this process. He will play on three different pianos to render an idea of Schubert's, Chopin's, Liszt's and Stravinsky's original colors.
