贝切斯坦二战后倒闭过一段时间,最近复活了。
Stephen Hough如此描述贝切斯坦和斯坦威的差别:
“Comparing the playing styles of these two pianists gives an over-generalized but valid indication of the differences between their preferred pianos. Many artists whose techniques had been developed on European pianos found the Steinway a handicap. Their whole approach to tonal control and colouring relied on the horizontal motion of the hand across a feather-light key rather than the greater vertical pressure required by the weightier actions of the American instruments. Moritz Rosenthal, the renowned Liszt pupil, is an interesting case in point. One of his trademarks was fast, fleet figuration exploiting extreme soft dynamics, and he claimed that it was impossible for him to achieve his effects on the Steinway piano.”作者: Rozinante 时间: 2013-1-16 23:06
