F. Sch\u00f6nfeld writes that Johann Schanz was the second celebrated master fortepiano maker in Vienna, after Anton Walter, who had been first to introduce that instrument in Vienna, and that he (J. Schanz) had been working for himself after the death of his brother Wenzel in 1790. Sch\u00f6nfeld writes further that the tone of lightSchanz fortepiano&#8217;s was not as loud as Walter&#8217;s instruments, but very pleasant and clear, and about their touch also being very light and shallow.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Sch\u00f6nfeld adds that Schanz instruments were actually copies of those made by the famous Stein of Augsburg, but we can now observe that, as far as we know, Schantz instruments combine constructive\u00a0 elements taken from both Stein and Walter fortepiano&#8217;s.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, the recording technique by Eng. Andrea Ricci (Spirit Turin, leader in headphones) deserve some notes.<br \/>\nThis technique consists of using a microphone as a microphone resin head, in which 2 microphones have been inserted ear canals and in verifying correct sound performance by listening to the recording again after a few minutes from the performance of the concert by a committee of critical review using a headphone listening system Specially calibrated Spirit Torino.<br \/>\nWith the Spirit Binaural Recording system you will be able to obtain a particularly realistic listening experience both with traditional hi-fi systems and with headphones thanks to the fact that the Binaural Head that we use, manages to map the position and distance of sounds in it the way our brain does it. If you listen to this record closing your eyes, afterwards a few minutes it will be as if you were there with us, on the day of concert.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"KLHhDQNHNV\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/uraniarecords.com\/ricci-andrea-spirit-torino\/\">RICCI ANDREA SPIRIT TORINO<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;RICCI ANDREA SPIRIT TORINO&#8221; &#8212; Urania Records\" src=\"https:\/\/uraniarecords.com\/ricci-andrea-spirit-torino\/embed\/#?secret=KLHhDQNHNV\" data-secret=\"KLHhDQNHNV\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/bonino2\" width=\"400\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beethoven: Piano Sonatas No. 4 &amp; No. 8 on Schantz Fortepiano &nbsp; Sonata No. 4 in E-flat Major, Op. 7 &#8220;Grand&#8221; (Allegro molto e con brio | Largo, con gran espressione | Allegro | Rond\u00f2.
