My path of discovering the beauty of period pianos was also partially a result of the Chopin Institute effort. They invited me for the masterclasses in Radziejowice in 2016, where I had some lessons on period instruments. It was my first meeting with them, and I have to say, it was not love from the first sight (or maybe: first hearing?). At this point in my life I believed that playing those instruments in concert setting does not really make sense nowadays and the only reason to study them was to understand composer intentions better. However, each year I attended those masterclasses and I was more and more interested in those instruments and the unique sound they produce. I was also inspired by people specializing in historically informed performance, by their passion and how they share it with others, especially by Tobias Koch. When the Institute announced the competition, I decided to give it a try. I did not expected to even qualify to the competition, so I was really happy what eventually happened. I have to say, that after competition, I like period pianos even more, as first time in my life I had a possibility to play on such good and well prepared historical instruments. The Pleyel from 1842 was absolutely amazing.<\/p>\n<p><em>PS: In the first round competitors performed non-Chopin repertoire. You were also offered non-Chopin instruments (i.e. Pleyel &#038; \u00c9rard) such as Graf for example. Can you tell us which works you chose in this round and which considerations you had when deciding on which instrument to choose for these works?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>PP: For the non-Chopin pieces in this round, I chose Bach\u2019s Prelude and fugue in C sharp minor from DWK I, Mozart\u2019s Fantasie in d minor and Oginski\u2019s Polonaise \u201cFarewell to homeland\u201d. In fact for Bach and Mozart I had almost decided already before the Competition that I would play those pieces on a Viennese instrument. Mozart\u2019s piece because the composer had a very similar piano at his disposal, and Bach\u2019s piece as their sound most closely reminds me the sound of harpsichord and clavichord. Eventually I decided to choose Buchholtz for them, as I felt more secure on this piano than on the Graf. As for Ogi\u0144ski\u2019s piece I did not want to perform it on a late-Chopin-piano (Pleyel 1842, which I chose for the Barcarolle), and I found out that this piece sounds the best on the Paul McNulty\u2019s copy of Pleyel from 1830.<\/p>\n<p><em>PS: Second round and the finals contained works by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin. Can you explain how you navigate technically and soundwise as a pianist playing this repertoire, as compared to when you play on a modern piano?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>PP: Period pianos have different capabilities compared to modern pianos. They cannot give full, powerful forte, but on other hand they can produce more variety of colors. They are not so precise technically, but you control everything better as the \u201cpath from the finger to the string\u201d is shorter. For me, the most important thing in music is expression &#8211;  telling the listener feelings and emotions. So, the only thing I have to change is to look for different means to reach the same goal. The most important for me was to balance forte throughout the piece, thinking wisely where to really use it and how to achieve it. The second important thing was revision of pedaling, as on modern and period pianos it give a little bit different qualities. The third thing was the choice of tempi, to still have long lines despite the shorter sound of Pleyel and \u00c9rard. In other differences I was just following my intuition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pianostreet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image1-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pianostreet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image1-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pianostreet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pianostreet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image1-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pianostreet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image1-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pianostreet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image1-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>PS: In the finals you chose to play the e-minor Concerto on the \u00c9rard. This more forceful instrument resembles a modern grand in a way but adds other sonic qualities. How do you have to think and act soundwise when performing with and orchestra which sometimes has a tendency to \u201deat\u201d the sound of the piano?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>PP: I decided to play the final on the \u00c9rard, mostly because it had more powerful sound than the Pleyel. The Pleyel had more beautiful sound in piano, but I found that it did not really work in this hall, compared to the chamber hall. Also with \u00c9rard it was possible to be audible over the orchestra almost all the time. I was playing the concerto like I was playing a chamber piece. The orchestra was really listening and following me, so I did not have to really care about the balance. I was focusing on the color that is produced with piano melody over the orchestral accompaniment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can we approach and learn about period instruments?
