As you read this, bear in mind that I do not like what has come to be contemporary piano tone. I find it shallow, lacking in well-developed color, sometimes decent pianissimos going directly to often splatty fortissimos (with very little in between), et cetera ad nauseum. (Most artists do not like it either, but they _do_ like to be nominally as loud as the instruments {orchestras, whatever} around them.) Thank you for saying this!!!!!! It has long been my opinion that a well voiced piano HAS more power than those overly bright HSO. I prefer the sound of the early part of this centruy, especailly the hammers found on Bluthners. Have a nice week end. Newton nhunt@jagat.com
