Historic Piano Performance

Historic piano performance refers to the musical practice emphasizing the interpretation of piano works as they were potentially conceived and performed during their respective time periods. This genre is characterized by the application of historically informed techniques, including touch, articulation, and pedaling, as well as the utilization of period instruments or modern pianos that emulate their sound qualities. The artists associated with this genre, such as Mark Hambourg and Egon Petri, are known for their scholarly approach to music-making and technical mastery that aims to bridge the gap between contemporary audiences and the expressive intents of composers from past eras. Their recordings and performances offer a window into the sonic and emotive world of the piano’s historical repertoire.
