Intro

Fortepiano

Earlier, slightly different version of the modern piano - the instrument for which Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven in his youth and their contemporaries wrote their piano music. Softer and with less sustain than modern pianos, Fortepianos also tend to have quite different tone quality in their different registers – slightly buzzing in the bass, 'tinkling' in the high treble, and more rounded (closest to the modern piano) in the mid range. Common between 1700 and the early 1800s.
