David Burton's Blog: Seventh Interview – A Day in New York's Piano Row
Well, for one thing Steinway Hall certainly needs no advertisement from me. They'd like it just fine if I came in there, hopefully with a prize I'd won at some piano competition, and a nice bankroll ready to plunk it down on a nice new Steinway. American Steinway has been a leader in pianos and piano technology for over 150 years and I am pleased and proud to have recommended their products (even in some cases above their compatriots' products from Hamburg, Germany) and as I will take some pains to explain, my practically lifelong recommendation and confidence in Steinway pianos has very compelling reasons. For those interested, I encourage them to visit Steinway Hall and get the scoop on their great pianos directly from them. Yes. Let's just say I started my tour at the top, playing a Bösendorfer Imperial grand (Model 290). I'm fascinated by grand piano plate designs and this is a picture I took of the interior of this piano. Sometimes if I can get a good look at a plate's shape and design it will identify the piano to me without having to see the name on the fallboard. Well the first things I noticed were the diminished key dip and the clarity of tone, almost magical in that everything I played sounded far better than I had any right to believe myself capable of. Indeed this piano shows up every imperfection a pianist brings to it. I played through Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words Op. 19, numbers 1, 2 and 4 only, which went very well, and then switched to Beethoven's Andante Favori which seemed a breeze on this piano. Mr. Johnson complemented me that it seemed I had practised. Little did I know then just how perspicacious his remark was. If I had this piano to play every day, I am convinced I would soon tackle more difficult pieces and become a better pianist as the action was quick and responsive and the tone gave immediate feedback on what I was or was not doing.
