forte piano?

[steveolongfingers]

Okay, im reading the Norton score for mozarts piano sonata in a major k331 movement III and it says that "the preformance with the forte-piano on the recording brings out the different timbres...",  whats this beast?  Or is it just a typing mistake, or did i fall asleep one too many times in class.....

Fortepiano: the precursor of the modern piano. Have a look on the site below for a photograph.

there's a post (of mine) in the repertoire section about an EXCELLENT recording using a pianoforte

I have a recording of an arrangement of Guitar and Fortepiano playing Gounod's "Waltz from Faust." ohhhhh you should hear it!
I would love to play a fortepiano.  It sounds a little like a harpsichord with more dynamics and warmer tone.

I am fortunate enough to live near to the Finchcocks Piano museum.
