Tobias Koch on McNulty piano Graf at the Workshop

Описание: Tobias Koch talking and playing on a Conrad Graf fortepiano replica crafted by Paul McNulty! An early Graf is the ultimate instrument for Schubert and late Beethoven, and ideal for early Chopin. It combines Viennese Classical transparency with the tenderness and lyricism of early Romanticism, and also the epoch’s dramatic range of dynamics. The piano, used in recording is a concert quality copy made by modern fortepiano builder Paul McNulty. Please subscribe to our YouTube cannel for more fortepiano videos!
