Yet the performer\u2019s task does not end simply with the use of an original instrument or a faithful replica. Is an accurate rendering of the notation written in the score sufficient to convey the composer\u2019s message?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The divergence between the freedom of musical discourse and its graphic representation has raised questions in every period. Historically informed performance is no longer confined to early music, but is increasingly extending to later repertoires, offering approaches and interpretative tools that help transform the signs written on the page into what Quantz described as music whose beauty lies in \u201cdiversity rather than equality and similarity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quantz\u2019s observation can also be applied to the sound of the fortepiano. Unlike the modern piano, which is designed to achieve the greatest possible uniformity of sound across its entire range, the fortepiano changes colour from bass to treble, much like the different registers of the human voice. This&nbsp;<em>diversity<\/em>, characteristic of Viennese instruments, was regarded as a virtue: Mozart and Beethoven both exploited the contrasting timbral and dynamic qualities of the different registers, creating striking effects of light and shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Musical examples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756\u20131791)<\/strong><br><em>Fantasia in D minor, K. 397<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Valerie Wellington, Walter\/McNulty fortepiano<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ludwig van Beethoven (1770\u20131827)<\/strong><br><em>Vivace, ma non troppo<\/em><br>from Sonata No. 30 in E major, Op. 109<br><br>Valerie Wellington, Graf\/McNulty fortepiano\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":61109,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"tags":[],"event_type":[807,270,268],"event_type_2":[767],"class_list":["post-61108","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_location-sala-amati-en","event_type-conference","event_type-music-culture-en","event_type-piano-en","event_type_2-sunday-4"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/61108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ajde_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61108"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/61108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61111,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/61108\/revisions\/61111"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61108"},{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=61108"},{"taxonomy":"event_type_2","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type_2?post=61108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
