Playing piano four-hands was both vital in the dissemination of music in the 19th c. and also a popular domestic activity. The original 1853 Parisian Erard piano on which this recording was made demonstrates the clarity, warmth and differentiated timbres characteristic of the 'straight stringing' that was later replaced by the 'cross-stringing' of the modern concert grand.
