Whats with all these piano comments? The piano was not around in his day.. The music was written for this instrument. Playing period music on non-period instruments in like re-enacting the civil was with machine guns and ground-attack aircraft..

@uggycom Mozart had a clavichord, lol wut, who cares anyways. It's JUST AS AUTHENTIC as mozart on a modern piano, because mozart's fortepianos were completely different.
Fail.

Mozart's early piano sonatas were probably written for clavichord, or at least played on them as well as on the piano. It is documented that Mozart, on one occasion, played one of his sonatas on a clavichord. It seems that some of the early pianos did not have any device to raise all the dampers at once. Bach did try out one of the early pianos but thought that the upper register was a bit thin in tone.

What a dear, funny little piece!
Pastor, you mentioned that your clavichord was tuned one semitone below today's standard pitch, in accordance with current knowledge. I heard that the Mozart piano was actually tuned a minor third below.

Yes, that is correct. As far as I found out ,there was a tendency towards the end of the 18th century for the frequency of the A above middle C to be in the range of 400 to 450 Hz. Quite a variation!

I recall that the Mozart piano went down to F. So when Mozart went down to F, as he did on occasion in his piano sonatas, there is was really quite a "nutty" sound.

Mozart's fortepiano had 5 octaves FF-f''', the same as the late 18th century harpsichord.

How heavy is it.

The touch is very light and the key depth very shallow. It takes a lot of control to play evenly without making any unfortunate 'popping' sounds. CPE Bach always favoured the clavichord for technique.
