Reverie by Claude Debussy. The first two pages only, since my camera can only record a couple of minutes. The piano is a 7'2" Bluthner built in 1880 (ie 11 years before Reverie was published!) It's a slightly unusual piano in that the bass strings are straight strung but the tenor is overstrung. It has Bluthner's "patent" action, a little different from what's found on more modern pianos.
If it sounds like there's a couple of wrong notes, that probably happened when youtube re-encoded the video. ahem ;)
Nice playing. Is it restored?
