Discoveries from the Fortepiano meets the demand for a manual on
authentic Classical piano performance practice that is at once
accessible to the performer and accurate to the scholarship.
Uncovering a wide range of eighteenth-century primary sources,
noted keyboard pedagogue Donna Gunn examines contemporary
philosophical beliefs and principles surrounding Classical Era
performance practices. Gunn introduces the reader to the Viennese
fortepiano and compares its sonic and technical capabilities to the
modern piano. In doing so, she demonstrates how understanding
Classical fortepiano performance aesthetics can influence
contemporary pianists, paying particular focus to technique,
dynamics, articulation, rhythm, ornamentation, and pedaling. The
book is complete with over 100 music examples that illustrate
concepts, as well as sample model lessons that demonstrate the
application of Gunn's historically informed style on the modern
piano. Each example is available on the book's companion website
and is given three recordings: the first, a modern interpretation
of the passage on a modern piano; the second, a fortepiano
interpretation; and the third, a historically informed performance
on a modern piano. With its in-depth yet succinct explanations and
examples of the Viennese five-octave fortepiano and the nuances of
Classical interpretation and ornamentation, Discoveries from the
Fortepiano is an indispensable educational aid to any pianist who
seeks an academically and artistically sound approach to the
performance of Classical works.
