Ikuyo Nakamichi - Chopin, Waltz Op. 64, No. 2

[Clavichordist]

Very wonderful performance on an equally stunning piano. If you are ever in the Boston area, you should make a visit to the Frederick Collection in Ashburnham, MA.

This almost sounds like C minor!

[IceCookieDemon]

@spaetensonaten this is c minor -_-

[spaetensonaten]

@IceCookieDemon No, the waltz was written in C-sharp minor.

[gesternabend]

430Hz?

[DzikenS94]

@gesternabend Yesss.

Maybe this is dumb comment but this is the first time I see brown piano.

[kwastormayt]

[chaoyuankai]

nice to play!

Nice piano and performance but the hammers are too bright and the sound is too hard. Pleyels had a velvety soft sound with almost no impact noise.. this piano is overly bright and hard and does not suit the lean-sounding soundboard design which is already voiced on the bright side..

@acortot

I agree, BUT i think it is a recording issue, because I noticed the same thing on a different video independent from this one. Or maybe the two examples suffer the same problem. I played a Pleyel once in a store and it was indeed velvetly soft, despite being 140 years old...

Your observation of these pianos is exactly what I have seen as well.They are much lighter, clearer, and less percussive than a modern grand.
