Podcast 11: "Hammered and Plucked" The Keyboard Part Four
 RSS feed for the Podcasts The Lyrichord Early and Classical Show podcast, Part Four of “The Keyboard: Hammered and Plucked”. The final episode of “The Keyboard: Hammered and Plucked” starts with the introduction of the fortepiano, and its gradual and subsequent progression to dominance in the world of keyboard instruments, in the form of the modern piano. Two different fortepianos are heard, one a reproduction instrument played by world renowned fortepianist John Van Buskirk, and the other a rare working historic square Broadwood fortepiano in the collection of the Vassar College Music Library, played by Elizabeth Katzenellebogen. From those instruments, Nick and Jeffrey move up a couple of hundred years to Christmas in the 1920s; music performed on a very rare Haines Brothers baby grand piano fitted with the Ampico reproducing apparatus, that performs exact reproductions of pianists performances of the 1920s.
